Description
Many Australian birds utilize cooperative breeding which challenges the evolution of natural selection. One possibility contributes to chestnut-crowned babblers' behavior is the epigenetic modifications interacting between genome and the environment during development. We analyze DNA methylation at hatching, before fledging, and adults to predict the pattern of their dispersal behavior.
