Predation drives interpopulation differences in parental care expression.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Mar 2013

Huang Wen-San, Lin Si-Min, Dubey Sylvain, Pike David A

Abstract excerpt

Expressing parental care after oviposition or parturition is usually an obligate (evolved) trait within a species, despite evolutionary theory predicting that widespread species should vary in whether or not they express parental care according to local selection pressures. The lizard Eutropis longicaudata expresses maternal care only in a single population throughout its large geographical range, but why this...
