This project studies the evolution of cooperation in Azure-winged magpies by analyzing social networks and kinship. It aims to understand the benefits that helpers gain in cooperative breeding systems through long-term monitoring and genetic analysis.
Current literature on the evolution of cooperation agrees that kin selection cannot explain the benefits accrued by cooperators in many systems.
One main gap is the type of direct benefits that helpers obtain in cooperative breeding systems and how they are ESS provided that natural selection favours defectors over cooperators in unstructured populations.
Recent advances show that "social viscosity" can maintain benefits for cooperators.
Thus, the study of social-network structure can potentiall…
