- Experimental evidence for helper effects in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2005, background): “A failure to find an effect might be due to other group members compensating for the removed helpers, so in birds, for example, the total amount of food delivered may remain the same compared to groups with no helpers removed (Hatchwell and Russell, 1996; Legge, 2000; Wright and Dingemanse, 1999).”
- Helpers in colonial cooperatively breeding sociable weavers Philetairus socius contribute to buffer the effects of adverse breeding conditions (2008, unknown): “…Covas (*) :C. Doutrelant CEFE–CNRS, 1919 Route de Mende, 34293 Montpellier cedex 5, France e-mail: rita.covas@cefe.cnrs.fr some studies fail to find any positive effect of helpers’ presence on reproductive success (e.g. Legge 2000a, b; Eguchi et al. 2002; see also review in Cockburn 1998).”
- The evolution of parental and alloparental effort in cooperatively breeding groups: when should helpers pay to stay? (2002, background): “Therefore, a dominant may respond to the presence of a helping subordinate by decreasing its own parental effort (Hatchwell, 1999; Hatchwell and Russell, 1996; Houston and Davies, 1985; Legge, 2000; Wright and Cuthill, 1989; Wright and Dingemanse, 1999).”
- Helpers increase long-term but not short-term productivity in cooperatively breeding long-tailed tits (2004, background): “A number of studies have found no relationship between group size and productivity (e.g., Legge, 2000; Leonard et al., 1989; Walters, 1990), and Cockburn (1998) suggested that the negative effects of helper removal experiments on productivity may arise through disruption of social groups rather…”
