Variation in helper effort among cooperatively breeding bird species is consistent with Hamilton’s Rule
Investment by helpers in cooperative breeding systems is extremely variable among species, but this variation is currently unexplained. Inclusive fitness theory predicts that, all else being equal, cooperative investment should correlate positively with the relatedness of helpers to the recipients o...
