The Red-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax has a restricted range in Britain and has been in long-term decline since at least the early 1800s. Southwest England was a former stronghold and Cornwall was the last county in England from which it was lost as a breeding species, the last successful breeding attempt being in 1947.The reduction of suitable foraging habitat owing to changes in the m...

This study used eight polymorphic microsatellite loci to examine the relative effects of social organization and dispersal on fine-scale genetic structure in an obligately cooperative breeding bird, the white-winged chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos). Using both individual-level and population-level analyses, it was found that the majority of chough groups consisted of close relatives and there w...
