Co-BreeD (Cooperative Breeding Database)
@co-breed.bsky.social
The Cooperative Breeding Database is an #open_access & fair resource on cooperative breeding birds and mammals.
Follow us for updates on the upcoming new fancy datasets!

How many cooperatively breeding bird & mammal species are there?
Co-BreeD constantly works to get a more accurate estimation for this question. We will now start sharing updated estimations in return for new followers!
So help us get the 120th follower (= share!) & we will post our first estimation!

Fabulous @anticac.bsky.social wrote a beautiful highlight on our first #Co-BreeD dataset. She was also worried about how often Co-BreeD would be updated. Well, time will tell, but meanwhile, the second dataset about #allonursing (& update) is already under review ;)
🌟 New research highlight for a paper that introduces a Cooperative-Breeding Database (Co-BreeD), which is an open, peer-reviewed resource that collects data on cooperative breeding across birds and mammals, including humans.

The Co-BreeD dataset on AlloNursing was just submitted! It provides complementary data about allonursing for all 324 species previously included in Co-BreeD (besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) & adds >45 new species! 🐒 🐳🐐 Follow for updates…

The Cooperative Breeding Database has a logo!
Hopefully, the first dataset on the prevalence of breeding events with alloparents across bird and mammal populations will be made public soon!

Cooperative breeding (i.e. when alloparents care for the offspring of other group members) has been studied for nearly a century. Yet, inconsistent definitions of this breeding system still hamper co...
