Evolutionary change in the construction of the nursery environment when parents are prevented from caring for their young directly.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Nov 2021

Abstract excerpt

Parental care can be partitioned into traits that involve direct engagement with offspring and traits that are expressed as an extended phenotype and influence the developmental environment, such as constructing a nursery. Here, we use experimental evolution to test whether parents can evolve modifications in nursery construction when they are experimentally prevented from supplying care directly to offspring. We...
