“…One hypothesis is that kinship plays a role in maintaining cohesion among related females during communal nursing, but there is conflict among nonkin. While female kinship may playa role in degu group formation (Ebensperger et al 2004, 2009), the benefits of kinship in this system are not clear-cut (Hayes et al 2009; Ebensperger et al 2011b; Burger et al 2012). Additional genetic work is needed to determine patterns of kinship and social structure under natural conditions.…”

“…FGM is an indicator of the concentrations of circulating corticosterone, the primary stress hormone in birds. Corticosterone levels indicate general stress (Dehnhard et al 2003; Goymann 2005; Touma and Palme 2005), breeding status (Ebensperger et al 2011), or social standing (Saltzman et al 1994; Creel 2001; Goymann and Wingfield 2004). We predicted that FGM levels in budgerigars would reflect the degree to which an individual shared calls with others, or engaged in either aggressive or affiliative interactions with group members.…”
