Direct benefits explain interspecific variation in helping behaviour among cooperatively breeding birds
Helpers in cooperatively breeding species can gain indirect benefits when caring for kin, but care may also be directed towards non-kin. Here, Kingma shows that, in cooperatively breeding birds, helping non-kin is common and helping effort is higher when there is potential for direct benefits from t...
