Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of resource variation during early life and adult social environment on contest outcomes in burying beetles: a context-dependent silver spoon strategy?
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the importance of social environmental context in determining how variation in nutrition in early life affects success as an adult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition during sexual maturation affects competitive ability but not reproductive productivity in burying beetles
TL;DR: The results indicate that the nutritional environment experienced during a key developmental window may be an important determinant of the expression of alternative reproductive strategies in adulthood, independent of body size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Male burying beetles extend, not reduce, parental care duration when reproductive competition is high.
TL;DR: Extended duration of parental care may be a male tactic both protecting investment and maximizing paternity even if this fails to maximize current reproductive productivity and creates conflict of interest with their mate via costs associated with increased mating frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
