  • Beschreibung: In this study, I investigated the proximate mechanisms underlying an expression of the helping behaviour by examining feeding rate and frequency of helpers under varying food availability and predation risk in different breeding colonies (see chapter 2). Many hypotheses have developed to explain the underlying mechanisms of the cooperative breeding. However, it appears to have no single hypothesis that can explain it, instead several hypotheses can be applied for the evolution of cooperative breeding. The kin-selection, life-history and ecological constraints hypotheses are widely accepted,...
