Explaining the evolution of male care has proved difficult. Recent theory predicts that female promiscuity and sexual selection on males inherently disfavour male care. In sharp contrast to these expectations, male-only care is often found in species with high extra-pair paternity and striking variation in mating success, where current theory predicts female-only care. Using a model that examines the coevolution of male care, female care and female choice; I show that inter-sexual selection can drive the evolution of male care when females are able to bias mating or paternity towards parental males. Surprisingly, female choice for parental males allows male care to evolve despite low relatedness between the male and the offspring in his care. These results imply that predicting how sexual selection affects parental care evolution will require further understanding of why females, in many species, either do not prefer or cannot favour males that provide care.

Keywords: evolutionary theory, coevolution, sexual selection, mate choice, parental investment


Research has focused on understanding when and why individuals of either sex provide parental care, with a particular focus on why in many taxa, females are more likely to care for their young than males [1–8]. While natural selection and evolutionary history clearly influence parental care evolution [3,4,9,10], recent theory examining sex differences in care has focused on how sexual selection interacts with parental investment. The general conclusion has been that, all else being equal, sexual selection on males disfavours the evolution of paternal care [1–9,11]. For males, uncertainty of paternity is argued to decrease the fitness benefit of caring for offspring (because the male is less related to the young in his care), while successful males are argued to lose mating success when they provide parental care [1–9,11]. Male care is thus argued to evolve when natural selection (in the form of increased offspring survival) favouring parental care is stronger than sexual selection against male care [2–5].

This argument cannot, however, explain the existence of male-only care across diverse taxa, including amphibians [10], arthropods [12], fishes [13] and birds [9] (where it is thought to be ancestral [14]). In the great tinamou, for example, females mate and leave offspring with multiple males, and males care for these offspring alone despite low paternity [15,16]. In the tessellated darter, males will care for completely unrelated young in order to attract females [17], and in sea spiders only males carry the eggs, despite sexual selection on males favouring higher male mating rates [18]. Current theory fails to explain the many species in which male-only care is found in the presence of sexual selection on males. Existing theory has shown, however, that the fitness benefits of paternal care can select for female preferences favouring parental males (the ‘good parent’ process of sexual selection, [19]) and these preferences can select for males to display their parental quality [20–24]. This theory has not, however, considered the way female preferences simultaneously coevolve with both male and female parental effort.

Inspired by this inability of current theory to explain the evolution of male-only care [2,5,25], I developed a coevolutionary model to ask how female preference evolution is predicted to interact with and affect the coevolution of male and female care. The inclusion of female-driven mating or paternity biases, considered here, is a key departure from both classic and recent theory [2,3,5,26], shown below to have significant effects on both male and female parental care evolution. I examine a situation in which male and female parental care is initially rare, but where paternal behaviour or traits directly associated with male care can be observed. I find that inter-sexual selection owing to the female-driven mating or fertilization biases can coevolve with parental effort and favour the evolution of paternal care and the loss of maternal care.

Game Admin Feedback / Re: [EU] Fin

I know that they do that. And i have to admit i've done that too - But since im admin (only a few days ago) i told them to stop and so did I. 

I play by the rules and am not avoiding clanmates - only if they asked for duels.

I'm sad, you don't know that :( and sorry if it offended you - thought ppl might notice my recent hate towards my own clanmates :D

And good luck to you too bro.

Great! :D

Sorry Fin but I think it's a bad idea to give you adminpermissons because your clan.

They are ignoring theirself it they are enemies and I saw how you did same. Show me that would kick them if they do it.

In the night before he started the great adventure he had a uncommon dream about his mother and her death!

The dream started with
...


warm summer wind, blowing in Kincore's face, soft starlight illuminating the familiar surroundings of the tiny fishing village he grew up in, and his mother, moonwalking across the skies, wearing nothing but a pair of pink crocs. Moving gently above the endless, majestic sea, she was about to disappear over horizon, as suddenly, her smiling face appeared directly in front of Kincore:

Kincore and the burning Ship


As Kincore was young he lifed in the north of Calradia, he was 10 years and growed up at his grandpa and grandmum because his father died in the war and
the mother died on the wild sea. His grandpa tought Kincore how to fight, ride horses and how to swim. At his 13th birthday he got a little boat for fishing at the Argard Bay.
He started a buisness with selling fishes and with 17 he wanted to leave Calradia to find a treasure on the a island on the sea.

Kincore and his grandpa started to build his own boat with that he can transport goods and viands, finally it was ready so he decided to saile to the Alai Sea.
In the night before he started the great adventure he had a uncommon dream about his mother and her death!
