Maternal care and offspring begging in social insects : chemical signalling, hormonal regulation and evolution (2008, background): “The typical experimental design usually consists of a manipulation of offspring nutritional state by food deprivation or satiation, and the measurement of the level of offspring begging (reviewed in Kilner & Johnstone 1997; Budden & Wright 2001; Wright & Leonard 2002; Royle et al. 2002 ).”
Differential body condition regulation by males and females in response to experimental manipulations of brood size and parental effort in the blue‐footed booby (2003, methodology): “This suggests that females can regulate their effort in relation to offspring needs, conveyed probably through the chick’s begging behaviour (Drummond 2002).”
Sibling competition and cooperation in mammals: challenges, developments and prospects (2007, background): “Theory about sibling competition began with Trivers’ (1974) and O’Connor’ s( 1978) seminal papers and has since given rise to a whole host of sibling competition models, which for reasons of space we can only point to here (Macnair and Parker 1979; Parker and Macnair 1979; Mock and Parker 1997; Wri”
Behavioral dynamics between caring males and females in a beetle with facultative biparental care (2004, background): “In support of these models, studies have found that offspring begging intensity reflects need for food, and that parents provide food in relation to begging intensity (Budden and Wright, 2001; Kilner and Johnstone, 1997; Wright and Leonard, 2002).”
The role of food- and object-sharing in the development of social bonds in juvenile jackdaws (Corvus monedula). (2007, background): “In 61 birds, active giving (also called ‘allofeeding’), is very common with regard to parent-62 offspring (Wright & Leonard, 2002) and courtship feeding (Green & Krebs, 1995; Helfenstein 63 et al., 2003; Velando 2004), which are well understood in terms of their function and unlikely 64 to involve…”
Cuckoo adaptations: trickery and tuning (2011, background): “For example, within their own broods, the most intensive begging is likely to come from their most needy chicks and their larger, fast-growing young are the ones most likely to survive (Wright & Leonard, 2002).”
Honest begging: expanding from Signal of Need (2011, background): “Although not the first theoretical treatment of begging, Godfray’s SoN model quickly stimulated substantial empirical and theoretical research (Figure 1), such that a book-length review of this formerly dormant topic was merited within a decade (Wright and Leonard 2002).”
Variation in Individual Investment Strategies among Social Animals (2006, background): “…competition (e.g. whether offspring can manipulate their parents to feed them more, Clutton-Brock 1991; Kilner & Johnstone 1997; Mock & Parker 1997; Wright & Leonard 2002), and within-group conflict (e.g. whether dominant breeders can make subordinates to ‘pay-to-stay’ for continued group…”
