Sustained multigenerational fitness benefits of natural immigration

Jeremy Summers, Elissa J. Cosgrove, Tori D. Bakley, Sahas Barve, Reed Bowman, John W. Fitzpatrick, Nancy X Chen

The study quantifies multigenerational fitness effects of immigrant lineages in Florida scrub-jays, finding additive benefits and heterosis persisting across generations.

Context-Dependent Fitness Outcomes of Helping in the Cooperatively-Breeding Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens)

Jeremy Summers, Bailey S.C.L. Jones, Elissa J. Cosgrove, Tori D. Bakley, Sahas Barve, Reed Bowman, John W. Fitzpatrick, Nancy X Chen

The study examines how helper presence affects breeder and offspring survival in Florida scrub-jays, finding context-dependent fitness outcomes unrelated to helper relatedness.
