  1. How cooperatively breeding birds identify relatives and avoid incest: New insights into dispersal and kin recognition.Christina Riehl & Caitlin A. Stern - 2015 - Bioessays 37 (12):1303-1308.
    Cooperative breeding in birds typically occurs when offspring – usually males – delay dispersal from their natal group, remaining with the family to help rear younger kin. Sex‐biased dispersal is thought to have evolved in order to reduce the risk of inbreeding, resulting in low relatedness between mates and the loss of indirect fitness benefits for the dispersing sex. In this review, we discuss several recent studies showing that dispersal patterns are more variable than previously thought, often leading to complex (...)
