Behavioural genetics: All in the family
Allen J. Moore1
Abstract
Mothers and offspring may have different ideas about how much maternal care should be provided. How is the behaviour of both parties genetically influenced, and how is this evolutionary conflict resolved?
Family conflicts are of professional interest not only to agony aunts but to evolutionary biologists as well. A case to exercise the latter has just appeared in Proceedings of the Royal Society1, where James Curley and colleagues describe their manipulations of a mouse gene, Peg3.
