| Résumé : | Natal dispersal is a fundamental component of the ecology and evolutionary history of birds, yet is often prohibitively difficult to study. We characterized natal dispersal for the first time in a bird using molecular genetic parentage analyses in a tropical rainforest understory species, the chestnut-backed antbird (Thamnophilidae: Myrmeciza exsul). Median natal dispersal distance was similar to 800 m (mean = 931 +/- 84 (SE) m, n = 48), with similar to 90% of all distances |
