Brood overlap and male ornamentation in the double-brooded barn swallow [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2010 Brood overlap can be an optimal solution to the intraseasonal trade-off in the allocation of time between successive broods. In line with life-history theory, the extent of brood overlap should be adjusted according to the individual costs and benefits of the simultaneous investment into 2 broods. Phenotypic quality can affect these costs and benefits.

Sanitizing the fortress: protection of ant brood and nest material by worker antibiotics [PDF]
, 2013 Social groups are at particular risk for parasite infection, which is heightened in eusocial insects by the low genetic diversity of individuals within a colony. To combat this, adult ants have evolved a suite of defenses to protect each other, including

Behavioral modifications lead to disparate demographic consequences in two sympatric species
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Life‐history theory suggests species that typically have a large number of offspring and high adult mortality may make decisions that benefit offspring survival in exchange for increased adult risks.

Sociobiology, 2018 Although honey bees are efficient pollinators of many crops cultivated in greenhouses, it is difficult to maintain colony strength and consequently pollination efficiency. Many bees die under greenhouse conditions and the colonies rapidly weaken.

The influence of temperature and photoperiod on the timing of brood onset in hibernating honey bee colonies [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 In order to save resources, honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies in the temperate zones stop brood rearing during winter. Brood rearing is resumed in late winter to build up a sufficient worker force that allows to exploit floral resources in upcoming ...
