Is bigger better? Direct fitness correlates of group size in a cooperatively breeding bird, the jungle babbler
Listed in figshare and Loughborough Research Repository — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.33945226.v1
<p dir="ltr">Direct benefits of living in larger groups include access to higher-quality territories, reduced predation risk and better territory defence, thereby enhancing the survival probability of group members.
Description
Breeders benefit from a reduced provisioning load and higher reproductive success, whereas helpers may receive direct fitness benefits by forming dispersal coalitions with newly produced recruits, thereby enhancing their future reproductive success.
We examined these predictions in a cooperatively breeding Palaeotropical bird, the jungle babbler, <i>Argya striata</i>, across 21 groups over 3 years, including both nonbreeding and breeding periods.</p>
