Variable social organization and breeding system of a social parrot revealed by genetic analysis

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 451-464, April 2026.
Social organization and contributions to reproduction vary widely within and between species that breed in groups. Such variation often arises from the process of group formation, which drives patterns of relatedness and hence the degree of social conflict and co‐operation between group members.
