Abstract:
AbstractThis study examines reproductive resource acquisition and utilization among Nicrophorus carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae) in two different and adjacent habitats. The proportion of small carrion resource (dead mice, Mus musculus L.) used by Nicrophorus and other scavengers in a Sphagnum bog did not differ significantly from that used in a nearby forest. Among congeneric Nicrophorus, N. vespilloides Herbst reproduced on small carrion exclusively in the Sphagnum bog, whereas a closely related species, N. defodiens Mannerheim, reproduced only in the nearby mixed forest.

AbstractRelative abundance of Nicrophorus species sampled with pitfall traps varies between habitats and seasons in the Mer Bleue bog area near Ottawa, Canada. Baited pitfall trapping is useful in studying habitat associations but does not accurately sample reproductively active species. Nicrophorus sayi Laporte is a spring breeding species associated with stands of mature forest. Nicrophorus orbicollis Say and N. tomentosus Weber were taken at baited pitfall traps in all habitats.

The entomological material was collected in the years 2009–2012 and 2014 from 13 different habitat types from three localities in south-eastern Poland. In total, 11,095 Silphidae were collected. This study examined whether the percentage of individual soil granulometric fractions was significantly related to the total abundance of collected Silphidae and individual carrion beetle species. A positive correlation and a statistically significant correlation were found between the total number of specimens collected and the share of the mechanical fraction with a diameter of 0.05–0.002 mm (silt fr

Abstract:
The burying beetle (Nicrophorus vespilloides) has unusually highly developed parental care; parents prepare and maintain a food resource (thereby providing indirect parental care), feed through direct provisioning by regurgitation, and protect their larvae. Parental care is highly variable and can be uniparental female care, uniparental male care, or biparental. There are genetic components to the parenting behaviour of the burying beetle, the amount of direct and indirect care given, and the size of the brood are heritable and therefore genetic traits.

Abstract:
This thesis considers the field of ecological immunology, specifically considering life-history trade-offs between reproductive investment and self-maintenance. Classical immunology considers the physiological mechanisms behind the function of the immune system; both in a state of disease and at times of health. Ecological immunology makes the transition from the study of biochemical pathways and the molecular mechanisms involved, to an integrated study of these components in an ecological context, having been shaped by evolution. Variation in immune investment is observed across taxa and with

The use of such a valuable, yet rare and ephemeral resource has led to the evolution of a complex and variable social system that ranges from parental care by a single female, through monogamy and biparental care to co-operative breeding. Concentrating on broods raised by either one or two parents, I used laboratory and field populations to study the benefits of parental care in <I>N. vespilloides</I>.

Abstract:
There are three social dimensions within a family: parent-parent interactions, parent-offspring interactions, and offspring-offspring interactions. All of these interactions are subject to evolutionary conflict, which occurs whenever interacting individuals have divergent evolutionary interests. Family interactions and family conflict are often influenced by phenotypic and genotypic traits of the parents and the offspring. An important phenotypic trait is body size, which can affect fecundity, mating success, and fighting ability. An important genotypic trait is inbreeding status (i.e., whethe

Abstract:
Inbreeding is associated with reduced fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. I investigated direct and indirect effects of inbreeding on social traits associated with parental care in the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides. This species breeds on small vertebrate carcasses and the parents provide care by maintaining the carcass and regurgitating food to begging larvae. I quantified the survival of outbred offspring produced by inbred and outbred parents. I found that inbred offspring had reduced survival compared to outbred offspring, and that outbred offspring produced by

Abstract:
Parent-offspring communication is widely regarded as having evolved to provide the parent with honest information about the hunger state of its offspring, thus enabling it to mediate conflict over resource allocation between parents and offspring. The conflict is caused by the offspring benefitting from receiving more care than the parents are selected to provide due to the costliness of care. I studied the role of parent-offspring communication as a mediator for the conflict in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. The burying beetle is an excellent study system for this question, as t
