The paper quantifies indirect genetic effects from social partners on juvenile morphometric traits in Florida scrub-jays, finding effects from helpers and fathers but not mothers.

The study quantifies multigenerational fitness effects of immigrant lineages in Florida scrub-jays, finding additive benefits and heterosis persisting across generations.

The paper analyzes structural variants in three North American jay species using pangenome tools and long-read assemblies, revealing rapid genome evolution and population size effects on SV dynamics.

The paper identifies genetic trade-offs and antagonistic pleiotropy in Florida Scrub-Jays by analyzing fitness components and their genomic associations.

The study examines how helper presence affects breeder and offspring survival in Florida scrub-jays, finding context-dependent fitness outcomes unrelated to helper relatedness.

The paper uses a 34-year dataset to show that Florida Scrub-Jay populations remain stable despite isolation and inbreeding due to increased breeder survival.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze genetic diversity and inbreeding in Florida Scrub-Jays, showing reduced diversity and increased inbreeding in isolated subpopulations due to habitat fragmentation.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly and annotation for the Florida Scrub-Jay using long-read sequencing and a linkage map, providing tools for studying evolutionary dynamics in conservation populations.

The study shows that Florida scrub-jays benefit from limited dispersal despite inbreeding risks, as inbreeding costs are lower than dispersal costs in terms of reproductive success and survival.
