Life history and the evolution of parental care.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2010

Klug Hope, Bonsall Michael B

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of parental care are strikingly diverse in nature, and parental care is thought to have evolved repeatedly multiple times. Surprisingly, relatively little is known about the most general conditions that lead to the origin of parental care. Here, we use a theoretical approach to explore the basic life-history conditions (i.e., stage-specific mortality and maturation rates, reproductive rates) that are...
