Sex differences in helping effort reveal the effect of future reproduction on cooperative behaviour in birds
The evolution of helping behaviour in species that breed cooperatively in family groups is typically attributed to kin selection alone. However, in many species, helpers go on to inherit breeding positions in their natal groups, but the extent to which this contributes to selection for helping is un...
