• How honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) change their broodcare behaviour in response to non-foraging conditions and poor pollen conditions (2002, background): “In rabbits, surviving offspring also benefit in milk allocation after death of a littermate ( Drummond et al. 2000 ).”
• Sibling competition and cooperation in mammals: challenges, developments and prospects (2007, background): “…from spectacular aggressive interactions, sometimes leading to siblicide, through various milder agonistic interactions, to scramble competition not involving overt aggression but which nevertheless can have indirect lethal consequences (Drummond et al. 2000; Bautista et al. 2005; Drummond 2006).”
