The Evolution of Begging
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is suggested that costly and cost-free signalling models face difficulties in accounting for observed begging behaviour, and that these difficulties may best be tackled by developing more realistic models that incorporate more of the complexities of parent-offspring interaction revealed by empirical studies of begging.
