Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.
