Parental Care in Birds and Implications for the Dinosauria

A recent study published in “Nature Communications” is challenging how scientists interpret animal behaviour. Furthermore, as the study focused on birds, it may have implications for the Dinosauria. The research shows that population demographics drive mating systems and parental care in birds. Behaviour does not create population imbalance. Instead, population imbalance shapes behaviour. The study’s conclusions could have wide implications. Bir…
