La coordinación en el aprovisionamiento de los pollos aumenta el éxito reproductor en una ave de cría cooperativa

Esta entrada de blog proviene de Eva Trapote y nos cuenta la #HistoriaDetrásdelArtículo ‘Fitness benefits of alternated chick provisioning in cooperatively breeding carrion crows’, que fue recientemente publicado en Journal of Animal Ecology. Trapote y su equipo investigaron el aprovisionamiento al nido en cornejas negras cooperativas para comprender si el grado de alternancia al nido por parte de los cuidadores aumenta su éxito reproductivo y, … Continue reading La coordinación en el aprovisionamiento de los pollos aumenta el éxito reproductor en una ave de cría cooperativa

Coordination in chick provisioning increases reproductive success in a cooperative breeding bird

This blog post is provided by Eva Trapote and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper ‘Fitness benefits of alternated chick provisioning in cooperatively breeding carrion crows’, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. Trapote and colleagues investigated brood provisioning in breeding carrion crows to understand whether the degree of alternation at the nest by caregivers increases their reproductive success and is thereby favoured … Continue reading Coordination in chick provisioning increases reproductive success in a cooperative breeding bird

Songbird parents coordinate in space and time

This blog post is provided by Davide Baldan and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Songbird parents coordinate offspring provisioning at fine spatio-temporal scales“, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Being a parent is certainly not an easy job. It takes a considerable amount of time and energy to successfully raise offspring. That is why each parent would like, if possible, … Continue reading Songbird parents coordinate in space and time
