The evolution of food sharing in primates (2011, background): “Sharing with related offspring is relatively common in various animal taxa (Clutton-Brock 1991; Ydenberg 1994; Brown et al. 2004; Mas and Kölliker 2008; Rapaport and Brown 2008) and its evolution can be explained by kin selection (Hamilton 1964).”
The evolution of parental care in insects: the roles of ecology, life history and the social environment (2013, background): “…(e.g. in the burying beetle N. vespilloides; Smiseth et al ., 2003) and chemical signalling, that is solicitation pheromones (e.g. in the burrower bug S. cinctus and the earwig F. auricularia; Kölliker et al ., 2006; Mas et al ., 2009; Mas & Kölliker, 2011; see Mas & Kölliker, 2008 for review).”
One clutch or two clutches? Fitness correlates of coexisting alternative female life-histories in the European earwig (2011, unknown): “Both across and within species, tending females can express variable duration and complexity of care, ranging from nest building to egg grooming, protection against predators or food provisioning (Choe and Crespi 1997; Mas and Kölliker 2008; Tallamy and Wood 1986).”
