Abstract
- The article discusses the evolutionary biology of fatherhood, focusing on examination of why the males of some animal species care for their young. Topics include examples of species in which the father takes on sole parenting responsibilities, factors behind parental care such as egg fertilisation, energy cost of care, and cannibalism of offspring.
