What drives cooperative breeding?
Cooperative breeding, in which more than a pair of conspecifics cooperate to raise young at a single nest or brood, is widespread among vertebrates but highly variable in its geographic distribution. Particularly vexing has been identifying the ecological correlates of this phenomenon, which has been suggested to be favored in populations inhabiting both relatively stable, productive environmen...
متن کاملCooperative behaviour and cooperative breeding: what constitutes an explanation?
We all have experienced the proliferation of electronic access o manuscripts and various Internet-based search tools for scienific literature. Nevertheless, it remains a tall order for a scientist o find all relevant information that will advance his or her thinkng on a subject.

متن کاملC Cooperative Breeding
Cooperative breeding is characterized by a combination of group living and alloparental care, i.e., the care of others’ offspring. Typically, young of previous broods remain in their natal territory and help raising subsequent offspring of dominant breeders. Hence, the characteristic of cooperative breeding is the joint occurrence of delayed dispersal of young with a propensity to help caring f...
متن کاملTemporal Environmental Variability Drives the Evolution of Cooperative Breeding in Birds
Many vertebrates breed in cooperative groups in which more than two members provide care for young. Studies of cooperative breeding behavior within species have long highlighted the importance of environmental factors in mediating the paradox of why some such individuals delay independent breeding to help raise the offspring of others. In contrast, studies involving comparisons among species ha...
متن کاملCooperation theory of cooperative breeding.
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, 006). In the second half of the 20th cent...
