Divergence of developmental trajectories is triggered interactively by early social and ecological experience in a cooperative breeder

Abstract
Significance Cooperative breeding represents the pinnacle of vertebrate social evolution. Helpers in cooperatively breeding species are characterized by a life-long potential to reproduce. Therefore it has been predicted that cooperative breeders lack an early specialization into subordinate helpers and dominant breeders. In a 3-year life-history experiment, we manipulated the social and ecological environments jointly during the early postnatal...
