Selection on the joint actions of pairs leads to divergent adaptation and coadaptation of care-giving parents during pre-hatching care

The paper investigates how joint nest preparation behaviors evolve in burying beetles under different care regimes, finding that males adapt first and females coadapt secondarily.

Social interactions within the family enhance the capacity for evolutionary change

The paper shows that social interactions in burying beetles affect evolutionary responses to selection, with care enhancing increases in size and conflict limiting it.
