In the three decades, since Birkhead and MOller published Sperm competition in birds (1992, Academic Press) more than 1000 papers have been published on this topic, about half of these being empirical studies focused on extrapair paternity. Both technological innovations and theory have moved the field forward by facilitating the study of both the mechanisms underlying sperm competition in both sexes, and the ensuing behavioural and morphological adaptations. The proliferation of studies has been driven partly by the diversity of both behaviours and morphologies in birds that have been influenced by sperm competition, but also by the richness of the theory developed by Geoff Parker over the past 50 years. This article is part of the theme issue 'Fifty years of sperm competition'.
