...Emily J. Ray; Julie M. Butler; Karen P. Maruska ABSTRACT Parental care has evolved several times and is present across taxa. Parental care behaviors, such as food provisioning and protection, are critical for offspring success. However, infanticide can co-exist with parental care in the same...

...Joshua J. Faber-Hammond; Suzy C. P. Renn ABSTRACT Parental care in Astatotilapia burtoni entails females protecting eggs and developing fry in a specialized buccal cavity in the mouth. During this mouthbrooding behavior, which can last 2–3 weeks, mothers undergo voluntary fasting accompanied...

... and prolactin release from the pituitary to maintain parental care. The degree to which animals react to and recover from stressors likely affects maintenance of parental behavior and, ultimately, fitness. However, less is known about how gaining parental experience may alter hormonal stress responses...

... expenditure is due to the existence of an energetic ceiling and/or compensation by males during parental care. To investigate whether an energetic ceiling exists, we experimentally manipulated foraging effort in captive zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata , creating two groups with high and low foraging...

... Thermal constraint Parental care Climate change Activity Rising global temperatures will cause animals to experience warmer than average annual temperatures and increased frequency of heat waves and droughts ( IPCC, 2018 ). Such changing conditions will challenge animals to maintain body...

...Tony D. Williams ABSTRACT Parental care is assumed to be costly in that it requires sustained, high-intensity activity sufficient to cause costs of reproduction (decreased survival and future fecundity of parents). Costs of reproduction are, in turn, thought to have a physiological basis where...

No evidence of an oxidative cost of parental effort was found; from courtship to parental care, levels of ROS in males and females decreased, and changes in LP levels were non-significant. Finally, using...
