Negotiation over offspring care—how should parents respond to each other's efforts? (2006, unknown): “Techniques such as feather cutting, tail weighting, testosterone manipulation, and selective playback of begging calls have been used to modify the level of care provided by one parent (for a review see Hinde 2006) or by one carer in a cooperatively breeding species (e.g., Wright and Dingemanse 1999”
Is male care compromised by additional mating opportunity (2003, background): “Furthermore, dominant males with helpers typically suffer a higher level of cuckoldry than do those without [48], so the observed reduction in PE might reﬂect their lower conﬁdence of paternity in addition to the reduced importance of PE by the dominant (but see [49]).”
Behavioral dynamics between caring males and females in a beetle with facultative biparental care (2004, background): “…and Davies, 1985; Wright and Cuthill, 1989; Markman et al., 1995; Smiseth and Amundsen, 2000) and responses of males and females to offspring begging (Kilner, 2002; Kölliker et al., 1998; Krebs and Magrath, 2000; MacGregor and Cockburn, 2002; Stamps et al. 1987) stems from studies on birds.”
