Parental care results in a greater mutation load, for which it is also a phenotypic antidote

S. Pascoal, H. Shimadzu, R. Mashoodh, R. Kilner

The paper shows that parental care increases mutation load but can also mitigate its negative effects, leading to higher extinction risk without care.

Parental care shapes evolution of aposematism and provides lifelong protection against predators

C. Lindstedt, G. Boncoraglio, S. Cotter, J. Gilbert, R. Kilner

The paper shows that parental care in burying beetles affects the development of warning signals and chemical defenses in offspring, reducing genetic correlations between these traits when care is limited.

Rapid, ultra-local adaptation facilitated by phenotypic plasticity

S.-J. Sun, A. Catherall, S. Pascoal, B. Jarrett, S. Miller, M. Sheehan, R. Kilner

The paper shows that phenotypic plasticity and genetic accommodation drive rapid adaptive divergence in burying beetles despite gene flow between populations.
