Biparental care of offspring is both a form of cooperation and a source of conflict. Parents
face a trade‐off between current and future reproduction: caring less for the current brood …

human monoclonal antibody targeting tumour necrosis factor with proven efficacy in the …

We analyze models of parental care, providing the first systematic comparison of the care
given to young by one parent versus by two parents. In the Houston-Davies model of care, …

Group living is thought to be advantageous for animals, though it also creates opportunities
for exploitation. Using food discovered by others can be described as a producer-scrounger, …

We investigated whether social foraging tactic use (producing and scrounging) in birds is
affected by the dominance rank of individuals as predicted by a phenotype limited …

In a periodically changing environment it is important for animals to properly time the major
events of their life in order to maximise their lifetime fitness. For a non‐migratory bird the …

Avian migration, which involves billions of birds flying vast distances, is known to influence
all aspects of avian life. Here we investigate how birds fit moult into an annual cycle …

Parental care often increases the survival of offspring, but it is costly to parents. Because of
this trade‐off, a sexual conflict over care arises. The solution to this conflict depends on the …

Tropical birds lay smaller clutches than birds breeding in temperate regions and care for their
young for longer. We develop a model in which birds choose when and how often to breed …

The effects of predation on the use of social foraging tactics, such as producing and
scrounging, are poorly known in animals. On the one hand, recent theoretical models predict …
