Tim Clutton-Brock: The Evolution of Cooperative Breeding in Mammals (2 Mar. 2021)

Title: The evolution of cooperative breeding in mammals Presenter: Tim Clutton-Brock Institution: Cambridge University, United Kingdom In most social mammals, all adult females attempt to breed regularly but, in a small number of species, one dominant female in each group virtually monopolises reproduction and subordinates of both sexes help to rear her offspring. The evolution of cooperative breeding systems of this kind raises important evolutionary questions. Drawing principally on long-term studies of mongooses, this talk explores the evolutionary causes and ecological consequences of cooperative breeding in mammals.
