Citations in the corpus

• Developmental differences are correlated with relative brain size in birds: a comparative analysis (2003, background): “For all species, young were considered independent when no longer fed by helpers or parents (Langen 2000).”
• Extended parental care and delayed dispersal: northern, tropical, and southern passerines compared (2004, background): “We also found that cooperative breeders had significantly longer Time with Parents and Time to Independence than non-cooperative species, in agreement with Langen’s (2000) conclusion.”
• Avian Life Histories: Is Extended Parental Care the Southern Secret? (2000, background): “Langen (2000) compared the duration of offspring dependence (Time to Independence) between species that are regularly cooperative breeding, occasionally cooperative breeding and those that do not breed cooperatively.”
• Kin Selection and the Evolutionary Theory of Aging (2007, background): “This may itself further influence life span, given that cooperatively breeding birds have more prolonged periods of offspring dependency than noncooperatively breeding ones (Langen 2000; see also the following subsection).”
