Divergence of developmental trajectories is triggered interactively by early social and ecological experience in a cooperative breeder.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 31 Oct 2017

Abstract excerpt

Cooperative breeders feature the highest level of social complexity among vertebrates. Environmental constraints foster the evolution of this form of social organization, selecting for both well-developed social and ecological competences. Cooperative breeders pursue one of two alternative social trajectories: delaying reproduction to care for the offspring of dominant breeders or dispersing early to breed...
