Recently, there has been much interest in the role of endogenous and maternal hormones as regulators of offspring begging and mediators of parent–offspring conflict. Here, we review recent work in this field, and identify inconsistencies in the lit

Parental care in the burying beetle Nicrophorus orbicollis was studied by comparing the composition of male and female repertories and time budgets and by analyzing the pairwise transition frequencies of brood-care acts performed by each sex. Males a

In many insects, recognition cues for social status or family membership are based on differences in cuticular hydrocarbons. In some cases these cues reflect reproductive status. Burying beetles, Nicrophorus orbicollis, form temporary pairs to rear a

Reproductive cooperation occurs in diverse taxa and a defining characteristic of these social systems is how reproduction is shared. Both male and female burying beetles ( Nicrophorus spp.) facultatively form associations to bury a carcass and rear a

When male insects guard females until oviposition, the benefits from last-male sperm precedence must outweigh the costs of relinquishing additional fertilizations. The profitability of guarding is increased when males guard large, fecund females and

Burying beetles, Nicrophorus orbicollis , have facultative biparental care. They bury and prepare small vertebrate carcasses that provide food for their young. Here we establish the juvenile hormone (JH) profiles of paired females , paired males and

Limited resources, like food, space, and mates, set the stage for intraspecific competition in many species. These conflicts are usually settled through the assessment of various asymmetries, or differences, between the competitors. In conflicts ther

Communal breeding can be characterized by the division of reproduction among cooperating individuals and, if the distribution of reproduction is inequitable, by the mechanisms for achieving skewed reproductive success. The burying beetle (Nicrophorus
