   What is brooding in zoology?

   • Brooding, in zoology, pattern of behaviour of certain egg-laying animals, especially birds, marked by cessation of egg laying and readiness to sit on and incubate eggs. Incubation (q.v.) itself is the process of maintaining uniform heat and humidity of the developing eggs, usually accomplished by

   Is brood parasitism obligate or facultative?

   • Brood parasitism may be facultative at the species or individual levels, with some eggs incubated by the mother and others laid in foreign nests, or obligate. Brood parasitism may also be intraspecific, with eggs laid in other nests of the parasite's own species, or interspecific, with all eggs laid in the nests of other species.

   What is the evolutionary strategy of brood parasites?

   • The strategy appears among birds, insects and fish. The brood parasite manipulates a host, either of the same or of another species, to raise its young as if it were its own, usually using egg mimicry, with eggs that resemble the host's. The evolutionary strategy relieves the parasitic parents from the investment of rearing young.

   What is a broody hen?

   • In domestic fowl the term “broody hen” refers both to a sitting (incubating) bird and, later, to the same hen brooding her chicks. Among invertebrates, some sea anemones ( e.g., Epiactis) develop brood pouches on the body wall, wherein the embryos develop. This article was most recently revised and updated by Amy Tikkanen.

   Apr 1, 2019 · Brood parasitism in insects is typically defined by whether the parasite exploits resources acquired by solitary parents (‘brood parasites’, or ‘kleptoparasites’), or by societies that care collectively for their young (‘social parasites’) (see [ 23 ], this issue, for discussion).

   A range of insects practice brood parasitism, especially members of the order Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants). Some of these species are obligate brood parasites, such as certain ants that kill the queens of nonparasitic species and use the workforce of the entire colony to rear their own young.
