Strategies of parental care range from a frog laying hundreds of eggs in a pond and never seeing them again, to a pair of humans who work together for 18 years to raise a single child to independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do these differences exist, and what are the implications for the success of individuals and species? And for species in which both parents perform parental care, how do the parents reconcile the conflict of genetic selfishness with the cooperation necessary for successful reproduction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
