The first evidence of alloparental feeding in a crevice‐nesting seabird, the little auk
Abstract An alloparent is an individual that cares for a young individual, but it is not its genetic parent. This behaviour is known in many species of animals, but some groups are still underreported. Here, we documented, in camera footage, the alloparental feeding of two chicks of the little auk,...
