Dear ecologists.
I was asked to present a popular science talk to my community ( a kibbutz with
200 people from the age of 8 to 90) and I thought of parental care in the
animal Kingdome. My research studies are mating systems and evolution of
sociality and my knowledge in parental care is somewhat not accurate. I plan
an evolutionary adaptive lecture that will be escorted by short (>3 min)
movies. I thought to go along the evolutionary line - starting from external
fertilization, to egg ovipositing with no care, going to some care as back
carrying as in water bugs or spiders, to more complicated care as mouth
feeding, mouth brooding, pocket rearing, and baby sittings (lions or
ostriches). Can you suggest good but short movies on the subject, special
examples that I may have missed?
Thanks a lot
