Reproductive partitioning and the assumptions of reproductive skew models in the cooperatively breeding American crow
2009, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Of the 26 known cooperative jays and crows (Ligon & Burt 2004), the six species with described genetic mating systems show wide variation in both social mating systems and patterns of reproductive partitioning (Table 3). For example, the proportion of mixed-paternity broods in two cooperative Aphelocoma jays ranges from among the highest reported in birds (63% of broods in the plural breeding Mexican jay, Aphelocoma ultramarina; Li & Brown 2000) to the lowest (0% of broods in the monogamous Florida scrub-jay; Quinn et al. 1999). Likewise, mixed maternity within single broods occurs with apparent regularity in the white-throated magpie-jay, Calocitta formosa (Berg 2005), but rarely (Quinn et al. 1999; Baglione et al. 2002) or inconsistently (Lawton & Lawton 1985; Williams 2004) in the other corvids.
