DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5279
Abstract: Abstract Honest signaling mechanisms can function to appropriate care to hungry offspring and avoid misdirected care of unrelated offspring. Begging, the behavior by which offspring solicit food and parental care, may be an honest signaling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/ary091
Abstract: When parents and offspring share food, there should be less left for offspring when parents eat more. We found no evidence that this was the case in burying beetles. Although hungry mothers ate more food,… read more here.

When earwig mothers do not care to share: Parent–offspring competition and the evolution of family life
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Functional Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12915
Abstract: Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the benefits of cooperation among family members. Surprisingly, the impact of kin competition on the fitness effects of family life only received close scrutiny in… read more here.

Effects of inbreeding on behavioural plasticity of parent–offspring interactions in a burying beetle

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13640
Abstract: Inbreeding depression is defined as a fitness decline in progeny resulting from mating between related individuals, the severity of which may vary across environmental conditions. Such inbreeding‐by‐environment interactions might reflect that inbred individuals have a… read more here.

Evaluation of genetic diversity using 31 microsatellites in Miyako horses

DOI: 10.1294/jes.34.1
Abstract: The Miyako horse is a native Japanese horse breed. As with other native Japanese horses, the number of Miyako horses decreased due to mechanization and motorization, which reduced their roles, with just 14 in 1980.… read more here.

DOI: 10.15288/jsad.2017.78.49
Abstract: OBJECTIVE The purpose of the current study was to evaluate parent-offspring resemblance for alcohol consumption and dependence symptoms, including sex-specific effects, and how these patterns change across adolescence and early adulthood. METHOD Three cohorts of… read more here.

Analysis of the Whole-Genome Sequences from an Equus Parent-Offspring Trio Provides Insight into the Genomic Incompatibilities in the Hybrid Mule

DOI: 10.3390/genes13122188
Abstract: Interspecific hybridization often shows negative effects on hybrids. However, only a few multicellular species, limited to a handful of plants and animals, have shown partial genetic mechanisms by which hybridization leads to low fitness in… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.10780
Abstract: Kin recognition is a phenomenon with an important function in maintaining cohesive social groups in animals. Several studies have examined parent–offspring recognition in species with direct parental care. Few studies have, however, explored parent–offspring recognition… read more here.

A simulation-based evaluation of methods for estimating census population size of terrestrial game species from genetically-identified parent-offspring pairs

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15151
Abstract: Estimates of wildlife population size are critical for conservation and management, but accurate estimates are difficult to obtain for many species. Several methods have recently been developed that estimate abundance using kinship relationships observed in… read more here.
