Cooperative breeders are species in which individuals beyond a pair
assist in the production of young in a single brood or litter.
Although relatively rare, cooperative breeding is widespread
taxonomically and continues to pose challenges to our understanding
of the evolution of cooperation and altruistic behavior. Bringing
together long-term studies of cooperatively breeding birds,
mammals, and fish, this volume provides a synthesis of current
studies in the field. The chapters are organised by individual
studies of particular species or (in the case of mole-rats) two
closely related cooperatively breeding species. Each focuses not
only on describing behavior and ecology but also on testing
evolutionary hypotheses for the form and function of the diverse
and extraordinary cooperative breeding lifestyles that have been
discovered. This unique and comprehensive text will be of interest
to graduate students and researchers of behavioral ecology and the
evolution of cooperation.
