Biparental care of offspring occurs in only a minority of species. Studies have shown that maternal care can be negatively affected when females are exposed to BPA; however, no studies have shown how ...

Researchers report that Ceratina nigrolabiata bees engage in biparental care and social monogamy to increase offspring protection; males guard brooding nests while females forage, even when most of ...

Abstract: Linking specific ecological factors to the evolution of parental care pattern and mating system is a difficult task of key importance. We provide evidence from comparative analyses that an ...
