Grooming reciprocity in wild male chimpanzees. The larval stage of insect development is considered by some to be a form of altricial development, but it more accurately depicts, especially amongst eusocial animals, an independent phase of development, as the larvae of bees, ants, and many arachnids are completely physically different from their developed forms, and the pre-pupal stages of . PubMed 2008;1:68. Re-evaluating the distribution of cooperative breeding in birds: is it tightly linked with altriciality? Derrickson EM. The distribution of developmental modes in the5420 mammal species is not as straightforward [30], but seems to be correlated with body size or mass, gestation period, and/or number of offspring: larger mammals are more likely to produce very few precocial young per litter [30, 3740] whereas small mammals are more likely altricial and produce more young. 2007;22:52937.

The altricial-precocial spectrum describes the degree of behavioural and morphological maturation of offspring at the moment of birth or hatching [26]. Transitive inference has been described across a range of taxa, ranging from fish to primates ([195], Table 2), and although it has been described in altricial birds and mammals as well as precocial birds (Table1), it has not been tested specifically in any precocial mammal.

Corticosterone excretion patterns and affiliative behavior over development in ravens (Corvus corax). Whenever possible, we cited published reviews, which contain a wealth of information on various taxa. Therefore, at present, we lack the taxonomic breadth to draw sound conclusions about the influence of the developmental mode on any of the cognitive abilities. Whether socio-cognitive skills are similar or reduced in precocial and altricial species, however, cannot be determined due to the lack of systematic studies addressing these questions (Displayed by ? In neither example, however, can we deduce the influence of developmental mode on social cognition as all representatives of the Corvida are altricial and all representatives of the Callitrichidae are precocial, and comparable data for closely related species that display the opposite developmental mode are not available.

Young LC, Zaun BJ, VanderWerf EA. Finally, previous studies have identified variation in developmental mode as an important predictor of relative brain size across birds, with fast-developing precocial species typically possessing smaller brains relative to slower-developing altricial species in which offspring have longer periods of embryonic development (Bennett & Harvey .

In social animals, it may pay to not only identify others but also to understand social relationships between other group members, such as who shares a bond with, or who is related to, whom. The lack of a thorough differentiation with respect to developmental modes in the context of social learning tactics, however, does not allow for a decisive evaluation of either the frequencies or variation in altricial and precocial species.

In mammals, expansion of the cerebral cortex plays a major role in managing social interactions, whereas in birds and seemingly socially complex marsupials, social interactions are regulated by the homologous enlarged telencephalon [4346], but with keeping in mind that hardly any information on the social system of marsupials is available. Anim Behav. while existing developmental staging studies of altricial and semi-altricial species provide a very useful baseline, many are problematic in that they measure development in 3-day intervals (e.g., bird et al., 1984 ), have a low sample size (e.g., koppl, 2005), and show few or no pictures (e.g., daniel, 1957 ), often without adequate labeling marsupials and rodents) require shorter gestation periods than precocial mammals (e.g. Anim Sci J.

However, the view that complex social interactions indeed require a large brain has recently been challenged [1, 7, 16, 21, 46], which may imply that the relationship between social complexity and developmental mode is less clear as well (see Fig. Although there are not many studies on social memory, those conducted to date seem to indicate that the mode of development has no influence on either the duration that animals may remember socially relevant individuals [180184] or on keeping track of hierarchical relationships [185187]. 2015;105:119. Anim Behav. Quails performed poorly in the learning task and failed in the memory retention task, whereas finches scored more highly in the learning task, and retained the ability to discriminate between colours correctly for 45days, which suggests an influence of developmental mode [188]. Sun L, Mller-Schwarze D. Sibling recognition in the beaver: a field test for phenotype matching. 1998;79:85972. There are several other cognitive skills in the social domain that may be worth investigating with respect to the developmental modes, (e.g. Sibling recognition has been studied quite intensively and identified in mammals, particularly rodents, and to a lesser extent in both altricial and precocial avian systems ([166, 176], for review [168]). Behaviour. Given the scarcity of comparative studies and potential subtle differences, however, we suggest that future studies should consider developmental differences to determine whether our finding is general or whether some of the vast variation in social complexity across species can be explained by developmental mode.
