The absence of sex-biased dispersal in the cooperatively breeding grey-crowned babbler.

Abstract excerpt

Cooperatively breeding birds are thought to be especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, in part because dispersal is typically restricted for one sex, increasing the likelihood of inbreeding.
