Figure 1 Some of the African starling species studied by Rubenstein and Lovette [8]. The greater blue-eared glossy starling (top left) is a non-cooperative breeder that is widespread in savanna woodland habitat throughout West, East, and Southern Africa. The lesser blue-eared glossy starling (top right) is a cooperative breeder that lives in savanna woodland habitat throughout West and Southern Africa, as well as parts of East Africa. Despite its name, the lesser blue-eared glossy starling is not as closely related to the greater blue-eared glossy starling as people have long suspected. The bristle-crowned starling (bottom left) is a non-cooperative breeder that lives in arid regions of East Africa. Males and females both have ornamented crests, or bristled crowns, but males have larger ornaments than females. The superb starling (bottom right) is a complex cooperative breeder that lives in large family groups throughout the savannas of East Africa. Social groups can contain as many as 30 individuals, and the helper relationships among group members are extremely complex. All photos were taken by D. Rubenstein in Kenya.
