Florida Scrub Jays are an excellent example of a cooperative-breeding species. This book provides data on fecundity, survivorship, relatedness, and dispersal to establish the demographic milieu and to address questions arising out of observed helping behavior - whom, how, when, and why the helpers help.

"[W]e have here a major contribution to populational and behavioral ecology, important for all students of the evolution of social behavior in vertebrates, whatever its form"--Frank A. Pitelka, Ecology "This is an important contribution to population biology. It will be of interest not only to workers in the field, but also as a readable introduction to one of the central topics in ornithology today. For the general naturalist ... it's a well-written, thoughtful account of a fascinating subject."--Clive E. Goodwin, Canadian Field Naturalist
Glen E. Woolfenden (1930-2007) was taught zoology at the University of South Florida, Tampa from 1961 to 1999. John W. Fitzpatrick is director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.
