Relationships can continue to matter even after years apart!

This not only reframes our understanding of sociality in species that can disperse multiple times but also offers great insights into the evolutionary roots of our own flexibly society.

YET, the presence of familiar females was a highly important factor in guiding female choices.

The fact that they prefer to join groups with familiar females highlight the importance of same-sex relationships.

These pre-existing relationships might help these females integrate better and faster.

With more than 150 dispersals, we show the deeply social nature of these decisions.

Females avoid groups which contain males they have grown up with, potentially as an inbreeding avoidance strategy.
