Infanticide, sexual selection and task specialization in a biparental burying beetle (2006, background): “Because parental investment reduces future reproduction (Trivers 1972; Zink 2003), there is the temptation to be the first to desert, saving the costs of parental effort.”
Benefits and costs of earwig (Forficula auricularia) family life (2007, background): “Such conditions may include harsh and unpredictable ecological environments due to the obvious benefits of care to offspring survival (Wilson 1971, 1975; Tallamy 1984; Tallamy and Wood 1986; Clutton-Brock 1991).”

The evolution of parental care in insects: the roles of ecology, life history and the social environment (2013, background): “Thus, tending and non-tending females had roughly similar fitness, which could explain why the two alternative reproductive tactics are maintained in treehopper populations (Zink, 2003a).”
