Project description

We will study how territory quality, habitat fragmentation and isolation shape reproductive, dispersal, settlement, and territorial strategies in fragmented populations of a tropical, cooperative breeder. Hypotheses will be tested by non-invasive measures and samples, field experiments, behavioral observations and a population model that tests how environmental quality and cooperation drive the joint evolution of sex-specific dispersal distance and timing.
