• A REEXAMINATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING PHILOPATRY IN RODENTS (2003, background): “The factors receiving the most attention are lifehistory variables (Arnold and Owens 1998; Kokko and Lundberg 2001; Pen and Weissing 2000)—certain taxa are predisposed to remain philopatric due to life-history traits; ecological constraints (Brown 1974; Emlen 1982; Jarvis et al. 1994; Koenig and…”
• Family insurance: kin selection and cooperative breeding in a solitary primate (Microcebus murinus) (2006, background): “Cooperative plural breeders, in contrast, may increase their own direct fitness if cooperation is mutualistic and/or increase their indirect fitness when breeding with relatives (Pen and Weissing 2000; Kokko et al. 2001; Clutton-Brock 2002).”
• The evolution of parental and alloparental effort in cooperatively breeding groups: when should helpers pay to stay? (2002, background): “…breeding have simply linked the decision to stay and the decision to help together by assuming that a retained subordinate automatically boosts the productivity of the group (e.g., Motro, 1993; Pen and Weissing, 2000; Reeve, 1998; but see also Johnstone and Cant, 1999; Kokko and Johnstone, 1999).”

• Experimental manipulation of helping in a cooperative breeder: helpers ‘pay to stay’ by pre-emptive appeasement (2005, background): “Ecological constraints have been widely assumed to be responsible for delayed dispersal and reproduction (Koenig et al. 1992; Emlen 1997; Hatchwell & Komdeur 2000; but see Pen & Weissing 2000; Kokko & Ekman 2002).”
• Extended parental care and delayed dispersal: northern, tropical, and southern passerines compared (2004, background): “Several recent theoretical papers havemodeled dispersal and offspring retention in saturated habitats in an attempt to explain the evolution of cooperative breeding (Kokko and Ekman, 2002; Kokko and Lundberg, 2001; Pen and Weissing, 2000).”
