Father-offspring resemblance predicts paternal investment in humans (2009, background): “Because of resource allocation trade-offs, males that provide parental investment to their existing offspring do so at the cost of investing in future reproduction (Trivers 1972; Clutton-Brock 1991).”
Maternal care provides antifungal protection to eggs in the European earwig (2014, background): “A widespread form of parental care in insects is egg attendance (Trumbo 2012; Wong and Kölliker 2012; see Royle et al. 2012).”
Female collared flycatchers adjust yolk testosterone to male age, but not to attractiveness (2005, background): “current reproductive event (Clutton-Brock, 1991) and hence”
Phytotelm size in relation to parental care and mating strategies in two species of Peruvian poison frogs (2008, background): “reason is that two parents are usually only slightly more effective than one parent at caring for offspring (Clutton-Brock, 1991).”
Prevalence of different modes of parental care in birds (2006, background): “(a) Male only care It has proved extremely difficult to identify a common pattern between the groups in which males are the predominant carers (Oring 1986; Clutton-Brock 1991; Andersson 1995, 2005; Ligon 1999; Bennett & Owens 2002).”
Sexual selection in females (2009, background): “aggression on female recruits to subordinate matrilines (Dittus 1977, 1979; Silk et al. 1981; Clutton-Brock 1991).”
Sexual selection for male parental care in the sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutus (2006, background): “Whether this elaboration continues depends on the mating system, resource distribution (Magrath and Komdeur 2003), and life-history costs of care (Gross 2005).”
Lifetime reproductive success in relation to morphology in the house sparrow Passer domesticus (2004, methodology): “…of Trivers & Willard (1973), high-quality individuals are expected to produce more surviving sons because their average level of provisioning is higher (Clutton-Brock 1991), and not as a consequence of differential investment in sons and daughters per se among high- and poor-quality individuals.”
Social competition and its consequences in female mammals (2013, background): “The birth weight and subsequent growth rates of 607 juveniles often affect their relative rank and these differences are frequently 608 maintained into adulthood (Clutton-Brock 1991, Clutton-Brock et al. 2006).”
Immune response covaries with corticosterone plasma levels under experimentally stressful conditions in nestling barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) (2003, background): “Probably the most frequently invoked mechanism mediating the trade-off between offspring quality and number is competition for depreciable parental care (Clutton-Brock, 1991).”
Imitative and Direct Learning as Interacting Factors in Life History Evolution (2017, background): “Obviously, it is not really possible for everyone to be protected till old age, because a reasonable fraction of the population has to do the protecting, and the costs of protecting will also limit the emergent protection periods [20, 68], but the extreme case simulated here does point in the direct”
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).”
Climate change reduces reproductive success of an Arctic herbivore through trophic mismatch (2008, background): “Such a trophic mismatch could have negative consequences for offspring production and survival in mammalian herbivores such as caribou because the energetic demands of lactation, which would otherwise be met by intake of newly emergent plant tissue at peak nutritional value, are the highest resource”
Predictors of Juvenile Survival in Birds (2013, background): “…and sex-biased juvenile survival can have profound ecological and evolutionary impacts on the population (Trivers and Willard 1973; Elgar 1990; Clutton-Brock 1991; Promislow et al. 1992; Venable 1992; Bernardo 1996; Fox and Czesak 2000; Marshall et al. 2003; Marshall and Keough 2007, 2009).”
Avian egg colour and sexual selection: does eggshell pigmentation reflect female condition and genetic quality? (2003, background): “The hypothesis could be applied to non-avian species with colourful eggs and male parental care like some fishes, amphibians and insects (Clutton-Brock 1991).”
Climate affects embryonic development in a viviparous snake (2004, background): “Because they contain both oviparous and viviparous taxa, often without the confounding influence of post-hatching parental care ( Clutton-Brock 1991 ), they allow us to examine the degree to which alternative modes of reproduction buffer the developing offspring from environmental fluctuations.”
Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “These costs may involve (i) the production and display of conspicuous signals suited to attract mates and repel rivals, which may also lure predators and competitors (Andersson 1994); (ii) the construction of costly structures for mate attraction, defence, or brood care (Hansell 2005, Schädelin and ”
Ventilation or nest defense—parental care trade-offs in a fish with male care (2006, background): “In fish, most parental care is performed when the offspring are still eggs (Wootton 1998) and, contrary to birds and mammals, males are the principal caregivers (Keenleyside 1981; Clutton-Brock 1991).”
Maternal care and offspring begging in social insects : chemical signalling, hormonal regulation and evolution (2008, background): “For parental care to evolve and be maintained, however, this benefit has to outweigh the cost of care because by providing care parents forego the opportunity to produce additional offspring (Trivers 1974; Clutton-Brock 1991).”
