Pair-bond strength is consistent and related to partner responsiveness in a wild corvid

R. Hooper, L. G. Hahn, G. E. McIvor, A. Thornton

This study examines pair-bond strength in wild jackdaws, finding it varies across the population, is consistent over time, and linked to socio-cognitive performance, but not directly to fitness outcomes.
