Why does it take two to tango? Lifetime fitness consequences of parental care in a burying beetle.
In species that require parental care, each parent can either care for their offspring or leave them in the care of the other parent. For each parent this creates three possible parental care strategies: biparental care, uniparental (male or female) care, and uniparental desertion by either the male...
