Parental care, and more complex cooperative systems of care, have independently evolved in hundreds of animal lineages. In an article published today, we explore how these behaviors evolve ๐ข๐ต ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ณ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญl shorturl.at/g5OPw /1
Kay et al. review evidence that parental care, and more complex social behaviour based on parental care, evolved in multiple species through the repeated co-option of members of a pleiotropic molecula...
