Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand) (With 2 Figures) (Acc. 25-IV-1995) Introduction In monogamous species of birds sperm competition and the potential for extra-pair paternity may arise as a result of a female engaging in extra- pair copulations during her fertile period (McKtN?rEy et al., 1984; 2) Corresponding author, e-mail: fiona@zoo.cam.ac.uk 5) We are very grateful to the New Zealand Antarctic Programme for providing excellent logistical support during the fieldwork for this project. We thank Ken WILSON for statistical advice and Nick DAVIES, Tim BIRKHEAD, Ken WILSON and Ian JONES for helpful comments on the manuscript. The research was funded by the NERC (FMH) and the University of Otago (LSD). Summary In monogamous species of birds sperm competition may result from either extra-pair copulations or mate switching. Copulation behaviour in individuals involved in extra-pair activity is well documented while little attention has been paid to mate switching. The aim of
