Extraterritorial prospecting and territory defence in cooperatively breeding meerkats [PDF]
, 2012 In group living animals where natal dispersal is delayed, prospecting allows individuals to asses their future dispersal and breeding opportunities and, in males of some species, may minimize the costs of delaying dispersal by enabling extra-group ...

Isotocin neuronal phenotypes differ among social systems in cichlid fishes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Social living has evolved numerous times across a diverse array of animal taxa. An open question is how the transition to a social lifestyle has shaped, and been shaped by, the underlying neurohormonal machinery of social behaviour.

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022 Comparative researchers have heavily focused their studies of social cognition on species that live in large social groups, while neglecting other potential predictors of social cognition. African crested porcupines (Hystrix cristata) are relatively rare

Kinship and its consequences in the cooperatively breeding southern pied babbler Turdoides bicolor [PDF]
, 2009 Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (p. 119-132).Cooperative breeding occurs when more than two individuals help to raise offspring that are not their own, and has been the focus of empirical and theoretical research for over forty ...

Habitat Quality Determines Dispersal Decisions and Fitness in a Beetle – Fungus Mutualism
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Delayed dispersal of sexually mature offspring is a fundamental component of cooperative breeding. In ambrosia beetles, female offspring temporarily remain in their natal nest and refrain from reproduction, instead investing in alloparental care ...

Production of homeobox A10 gene transgenic pigs by somatic cell nuclear transfer
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019 Homeobox A10 (Hoxa10) gene is one of the most important candidate genes associated with the reproductive performance of humans and mice. Overexpression of Hoxa10 in mouse endometrium can increase litter size.

Evolution Letters, 2021 Offspring from elderly parents often have lower survival due to parental senescence. In cooperatively breeding species, where offspring care is shared between breeders and helpers, the alloparental care provided by helpers is predicted to mitigate the ...
