Like many 'populations' the great tits in Wytham are a meta-population, with extensive immigration. We know very little about who & what immigrants are - here @andreaestandia.bsky.social et al use genomic data to try to understand origins & consequences of immigrants www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Predicted relationship between physical distance (breeding location) and identity-by-descent for different pairwise comparisons of breeding Great Tits in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire. The effect of distance is strongest for pairs of locally-born birds, and weakest (but non-zero) for pairs of immigrants
