Sonja Wild, Gustavo Alarcón-Nieto & @lucymaplin show that young #GreatTits, which have limited #ParentalCare, learn to solve a foraging #puzzle socially, but rather than parents, siblings & non-parental adults are preferred role models @PLOSBiology plos.io/46JZn6n

The dilemma between keeping the eggs warm and surviving starvation when you are an incubating bird in the Arctic. Far from being measurement artefacts, extended recess is a sensible strategy under harsh environmental and poor body conditions. Congratulation to Léa Etchart for this new paper from her PhD project.

How #ParentalCare affects the Evolution of #GeneticVariation by Rahia Mashoodh.

#ParentalCare contributes to vertical transmission of microbes in a skin-feeding and direct-developing #caecilian https://animalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42523-023-00243-x
"#Caecilians are an elusive type of #amphibian that primarily live #underground and look like a cross between a worm and a snake. One of the few things that is known about caecilians is their unique method for feeding their young."
