Wherever I may roam: social viscosity and kin affiliation in a wild population despite natal dispersal

Lay Summary When it is time to leave home and disperse from the natal area, you might expect siblings to scatter far and wide. But in the great tit, siblings associate more than unrelated birds at feeders, and not only because they start off their journey from the same nest. Complex social behaviors can evolve when relatives cluster, and knowing how those clusters persist despite dispersal is important for understanding the evolution of sociality.
