Parental Care

2021
This chapter discusses parental care, which includes the range of an adult animal's activities that improve the survivorship of offspring. Parental care ranges from nourishing, incubating eggs, to defending them from predators. According to life history theory, species differ in their levels of giving care to their young.

Parental care in birds

Current Biology, 2022
Parental care, a usefully imprecise catch-all term for behaviors performed by breeding adults that benefit their offspring, is a popular research area among behavioral ecologists. Across Class Aves, it takes many forms, ranging from warming the eggs during incubation - such that the embryo develops within and eventually escapes from its protective ...

Parental care

2018
Parental care is any parental trait that enhances the fitness of a parent’s offspring, and that is likely to have originated and/or be currently maintained for this function. How parental care evolves and which sex should care for the offspring are central questions in evolutionary biology. The theoretical bases to address these questions were proposed

Illegitimate children are particularly vulnerable, as their parents are not married to each other and there is often no recognisable family ...

Insect Parental Care

BioScience, 1984
The evolution of parental care represents an extraordinary breakthrough in the adaptation of organisms to their environment. Its effectiveness in neutralizing conditions harmful to young is attested by the repeated convergence of parental behavior patterns throughout vastly different animal lineages.

Parental Care

2012
This chapter focuses on individual variation in parental care, the relationship between individual variation and maternal fitness, and the physiological mechanisms underlying this variation. For example, does individual variation in incubation behavior (e.g., the timing of onset, intensity, constancy) determine the number and quality of chicks at ...
