Patterns and causes of breeding dispersal in a declining population of Canada jays, Perisoreus canadensis, over 55 years
Breeding dispersal can influence fitness as well as the dynamics and genetic architecture of
populations, but the patterns and causes of dispersal in most species are still poorly …

Early-life sibling conflict in Canada jays has lifetime fitness consequences
While delaying natal dispersal can provide short-term benefits for juveniles, lifetime fitness
consequences are rarely assessed. Furthermore, competition for limited positions on a natal …

Survival throughout the annual cycle of first year Canada Jays in the context of sibling competition, expulsion, and adoption
For most birds that exhibit delayed dispersal (remaining on the natal territory rather than
dispersing to seek a breeding opportunity), siblings appear free to stay or leave the natal …
