Integrating cooperative breeding into theoretical concepts of cooperation [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 2007 In cooperative breeding systems, some individuals help to raise offspring that are not their own. While early explanations for such altruistic behaviour were predominantly based on kin selection, recent evidence suggests that direct benefits may be important in the maintenance of cooperation.

Cooperative breeding and monogamy in mammalian societies [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012 Comparative studies of social insects and birds show that the evolution of cooperative and eusocial breeding systems has been confined to species where females mate completely or almost exclusively with a single male, indicating that high levels of average kinship between group members are necessary for the evolution of reproductive altruism.

Pathogens, 2020 Cladobotryum dendroides, which causes cobweb disease in edible mushrooms, is one of the major fungal pathogens. Our previous studies focused on the genetic and morphological characterization of this fungus, as well as its pathogenicity and the ...

The evolution of ageing in cooperative breeders
Evolution Letters, 2022 Cooperatively breeding animals live longer than their solitary counterparts. This has been suggested for birds, mole rats, and social insects. A common explanation for these long lifespans is that cooperative breeding evolves more readily in long‐lived ...

Cooperative breeding and long-distance dispersal: a test using vagrant records. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cooperative breeding is generally associated with increased philopatry and sedentariness, presumably because short-distance dispersal facilitates the maintenance of kin groups.

Synopsis of Leptosphaeriaceae and Introduction of Three New Taxa and One New Record from China
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Leptosphaeriaceae, a diverse family in the order Pleosporales, is remarkable for its scleroplectenchymatous or plectenchymatous peridium cells. Four Leptosphaeriaceae species were discovered and studied during the investigation of saprobic fungi from ...

Cooperation theory of cooperative breeding [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 2007 Cooperative breeding is the joint raising of offspring by wo or more individuals, where at least one of them is not he genetic parent of the young. The key characteristics of ooperative breeding systems are diversity of social behaviours ithin and between groups and high variation of factors influncing conflict over reproduction (for review see Komdeur,

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The social mole-rats of the family Bathyergidae show elaborate social organisation that may include division of labour between breeders and non-breeders as well as across non-breeders within their groups.

Vigilance in a Cooperatively Breeding Primate [PDF]
International Journal of Primatology, 2010 Collective vigilance is considered a major advantage of group living in animals. We investigated vigilance behavior in wild mustached tamarins (Saguinus mystax), small, arboreal, cooperatively breeding New World primates that form stable mixed-species groups with saddleback tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis).
