text: Phenotypes expressed in a social context are not only a function of the individual,
but can also be shaped by the phenotypes of social partners. These social effects
may play a major role in the evolution of cooperative breeding if social partners
differ in the quality of care they provide and if individual carers adjust their
effort in relation to that of other carers. When applying social effects models
to wild study systems, it is also important to explore sources of individual plasticity
that could masquerade as social effects. We studied offspring provisioning rates
of parents and helpers in a wild population of long-tailed tits Aegithalos caudatus
using a quantitative genetic framework to identify these social effects and partition
them into genetic, permanent environment and current environment components. Controlling
for other effects, individuals were consistent in their provisioning effort at
a given nest, but adjusted their effort based on who was in their social group,
indicating the presence of social effects. However, these social effects differed
between years and social contexts, indicating a current environment effect, rather
than indicating a genetic or permanent environment effect. While this study reveals
the importance of examining environmental and genetic sources of social effects,
the framework we present is entirely general, enabling a greater understanding
of potentially important social effects within any ecological population.
