Kinship affects investment by helpers in a cooperatively breeding bird.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Nov 2010

Nam Ki-Baek, Simeoni Michelle, Sharp Stuart P, Hatchwell Ben J

Abstract excerpt

Helping behaviour in cooperative breeding systems has been attributed to kin selection, but the relative roles of direct and indirect fitness benefits in the evolution of such systems remain a matter of debate. In theory, helpers could maximize the indirect fitness benefits of cooperation by inve...
