Larval isolation and brood care in Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2005-11-01)
The larvae of leaf-cutting ants are maintained within the fungus gardens of their colonies and are fed pieces of fungus by the adult workers. However, little else is known about the nature of the worker-larva interaction ...
Reproductive and brood-rearing strategies inAlchisme grossa(Hemiptera: Membracidae): genetic analyses of kinship relationships
(Springer, 2020)
Alchisme grossa is a treehopper species showing maternal care until at least the third nymphal instar. A secondary female
treehopper has frequently been observed near a family (primary female guarding its egg clutch). ...

Strategic egg destruction by brood-parasitic cowbirds?
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Obligate avian brood parasites do not provide direct care to their young but can indirectly increase their offspring's success in host nests. One way in which parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus sp.) could achieve this is through ...
A new species of brooding Psolidae (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) from deep-sea off Argentina, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-12-17)
This paper describes a new species of Psolus (Holothuroidea, Echinodermata), P. lawrencei sp. nov., (19 specimens) found in the deep sea (308-1398 m) in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWAO) (around 38°S-54°W) with brooders ...
The wages of violence: mobbing by mockingbirds as a frontline defence against brood-parasitic cowbirds
(Elsevier, 2013-11)
For many hosts of brood-parasitic birds, their frontline of defence is to mob adult parasites that approach the nest. Mobbing is commonly interpreted as an adaptation to prevent the parasite from laying, although to date ...
Host provisioning behavior favors mimetic begging calls in a brood-parasitic cowbird
(Oxford University Press, 2017-12)
The vocalizations of some young brood-parasitic birds closely resemble those of their host's young. Such similarities might arise because hosts bestow the greatest parental care in response to their own species' call type. ...
