Parental care includes a wide variety of traits that enhance
offspring development and survival. It is taxonomically widespread
and is central to the maintenance of biodiversity through its close
association with other phenomena such as sexual selection,
life-history evolution, sex allocation, sociality, cooperation and
conflict, growth and development, genetic architecture, and
phenotypic plasticity. This novel book provides a fresh perspective
on the study of the evolution of parental care based on
contributions from some of the top researchers in the field. It
provides evidence that the dynamic nature of family interactions,
and particularly the potential for co-evolution among family
members, has contributed to the great diversity of forms of
parental care and life-histories across as well as within taxa. The
Evolution of Parental Care aims to stimulate students and
researchers alike to pursue exciting new directions in this
fascinating and important area of behavioural and evolutionary
biology. It will be of relevance and use to those working in the
fields of animal behaviour, ecology, evolution, and genetics, as
well as related disciplines such as psychology and sociology.
