Слайд 6 How often do bee-eaters help each other?
Helping-at-the-nest is

How often do bee-eaters help each other?Helping-at-the-nest is frequent, with half

frequent, with half (50%) of all nesting attempts being

attended by one or more helpers in addition to the breeding pair.
The average number of helpers at nests with helpers is 1.52 (Emlen 1988).

Слайд 7 How bee-eaters help?
When a bee-eater becomes a helper,

How bee-eaters help?When a bee-eater becomes a helper, it attaches itself

it attaches itself to one nesting group and assists

at only that one nest until either the young fledge or the nesting attempt fails.
If young fledge, the helper generally continues to feed the fledglings during their transition to independence.

Слайд 8 Who helps more: male or female bee-eaters?
Males and

Who helps more: male or female bee-eaters?Males and females contribute almost

females contribute almost equally to the pool of helpers,

53 percent being female (Emlen 1988). Further, the likelihood that any given bird becomes a helper is independent of gender. There was no sexual bias in the probability of helping for any category of natal potential helper.

Слайд 9 How bee-eaters become helpers?
White-fronted bee-eater helpers come from

How bee-eaters become helpers?White-fronted bee-eater helpers come from the ranks of

the ranks of breeders as well as non-breeders. When

a nesting attempt fails, it is common for one (and rarely both) breeders to shift and become "redirected helpers" at another nest within the clan (Emlen 1981, 1988).

Слайд 12 Whether or not to become a helper?
According to

Whether or not to become a helper?According to the Hamilton’s equation

the Hamilton’s equation
3 specific predictions follow:
More individuals

should become helpers when the magnitude of the benefit realized by the recipient is large

More individuals should become helpers when the cost to the donor of providing aid is small

More individuals should become helpers when the coefficient of relatedness between recipient and donor is large

The relationship between number of

Benefit Variable Analysis ResultsThe relationship between number of helpers and fledging

helpers and fledging success was linear:

0.44 off-spring per additional

helper

Nestlings continue to benefit from increasing number of helpers and observed helper number has rarely reached the point of diminishing returns

Prediction of decreasing likelihood of becoming helper cannot be tested with this species


Слайд 16 Testing the Costs Variable

is small

Two types of costs were examined

Energetic costs for helping

Deferring one’s own reproduction

Слайд 24 Kinship Variable Analysis Results
The non-incestuous nature of pair-bonding

Kinship Variable Analysis ResultsThe non-incestuous nature of pair-bonding in bee-eaters clans

in bee-eaters clans creates the simple kin-nonkin dichotomy within

each clan.

Clan 1

Clan 1

One member of the new pair remains in its natal plan and other (usually female) leaves its natal clan.


Слайд 25 Kinship Variable Analysis Results
Natal members receive much more

Kinship Variable Analysis ResultsNatal members receive much more helping, than unrelated

helping, than unrelated mates due to they social situation.


“Higher Social Status”

More

The question is that will the new (in-law member) receive the same amount of help from the members of non-natal clan?

Direct proportion of available recipients in the clan

Assumption that

helpers choose their recipients randomly

Observation demonstrated that:


Bee eaters are more likely to help the most closely related recipients.

nestlings being helped was 0.33
Kin recipients were involved in

88% of the cases and the most frequent associations were among the closest kin

There were 10 instances in which helping was directed towards recipients outside of the clan. But, in 8 cases birds temporarily rejoined their natal groups to help their parents or step-parents.
