Explain the roles of dominance hierarchies and territoriality inanimal societies.
Discuss the costs and benefits of allomothering behavior, and describe the conditions under which the frequency of allomaternal behavior varies across different primates. References are the books  "Primate Behavioral Ecology" by Karen Strier and "Planet Without Apes" by Craig Stanford
In the eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus), mothers sometimes take parental favoritism to extreme lengths by killing their sons, but never their daughters (Heinsohn et al. 2011). Sex-specific infanticide occurs more often at nests that can be flooded during the rainy season. Sons spend longer in the nest than daughters. Link this factor to why it might be adaptive for a parent parrot to kill a son in a vulnerable nest occupied by offspring of both sexes. Don't write from any online source..
