The number of strong social bonds is linked to survival in a cooperative bird

2025-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence from large mammals, including humans, shows that the quality of social associations beyond general group size can positively influence health and survival. However, whether individuals in other taxa consistently differ in sociality in ways that affect fitness and thus provide a basis for selection remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined how individual sociality relates to survival pr...
