Do variable environments erode the value of parental coordination in albatrosses?

In this blog post, Natasha Gillies tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Contrasting associations between parental coordination and breeding success in albatrosses across differing environmental contexts“, recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. This study explored how parental effort and coordination in different environmental contexts influenced breeding success in two albatross species. Any parent will tell you the importance of an involved partner – … Continue reading Do variable environments erode the value of parental coordination in albatrosses?
