Time constraints and trade-offs among parental care behaviours: effects of brood size, sex and loss of mate (2004, unknown): “Previous studies have shown that the three parental care behaviours differ in how brood size or larval begging affects parental response (Rauter & Moore 1999; Smiseth & Moore 2002).”
Maternal care and offspring begging in social insects : chemical signalling, hormonal regulation and evolution (2008, background): “In burying beetles, one of the rare cases of biparental care (Fetherston et al. 1990; Eggert & Müller 1997), larvae can either feed on the preprocessed carcass or obtain food directly from either the female or the male by regurgitation (Smiseth & Moore 2002).”
How do caring parents respond to mate loss? Differential response by males and females (2005, methodology): “We used beetles from an outbred laboratory population derived from 110 wild-caught N. vespilloides trapped in deciduous forest in Betws-y-Coed, northern Wales, U.K. (see Smiseth & Moore 2002 ).”
Behavioral dynamics between caring males and females in a beetle with facultative biparental care (2004, methodology): “Smiseth and Moore (2002) provide details of the origin and husbandry of this population of beetles.”
