Sex differences in parental care (2012, background): “There is female-only care in 8% of species, biparental care in about 81% of species, and biparental care with input from helpers occurs in another 9% of cooperatively breeding species (Cockburn 2006).”
Social bonds in birds are associated with brain size and contingent on the correlated evolution of life‐history and increased parental investment (2010, background): “Although a recent review (Cockburn, 2006) provides a more extensive sample of parental care in birds, again, we did not want to use multiple datasets that may not be comparable across analyses.”
Territoriality, Social Bonds, and the Evolution of Communal Signaling in Birds (2016, positive): “…we hope the classiﬁcations presented here provide a similar template for further study, both to reﬁne the dataset and to underpin broad-scale tests of evolutionary theory, in line with previously published datasets of similar scope (Cockburn, 2006; Jetz and Rubenstein, 2011; Wilman et al., 2014).”
Parental investment, sexual selection and sex ratios (2008, background): “E V O L .”
Sex-specific foraging strategies throughout the breeding season in a tropical, sexually monomorphic small petrel (2012, background): “Biparental care is the predominant mode of parental care in birds (Cockburn 2006), and in many seabird species, the * Correspondence: P.

Cooperation and Coordination in Socially Monogamous Birds: Moving Away From a Focus on Sexual Conflict (2019, background): “Given the prevalence of social monogamy and biparental care across the avian group (Cockburn, 2006), and the heterogeneity that is likely to exist in the duration and strength of the partnership across these species, this could be a very fruitful ground for studies in the evolution of sociality.”
Patterns of parental care in vertebrates (2012, background): “In most bird species (90–95%) both parents look after the young chicks, while in 4–8% of bird species females alone look after young, and in 1–2% males alone do so (Silver et al. 1985; Cockburn 2006).”
