While our model is on the evolution of parent-offspring interactions and offspring solicitation, antagonistic selection across the offspring and parental life-stage can play an important role in life-history evolution in general, whenever trade-offs differentially affect fitness components to the offspring versus the parental life-stage.
Baby books illustrate the evolution of parenting, Lightning Source and PediaPress will team up to print "wikibooks" out of Wikipedia articles.
Grimm and McSween (1989) considered the thermal evolution of parent bodies for carbonaceous chondrites, containing ice (e.g. H2O).
Previous studies on the thermal evolution of parent bodies of CM and CI chondrites performed numerical simulations including hydrothermal convection and gas diffusion (Grimm and McSween, 1989; Cohen and Coker, 2000); the hydrother-mal convection through the pores of rocks occurs when the Rayleigh number Ra exceeds (Turcotte and Schubert, 2002), and gas diffusion is controlled by Darcy's law.
What's more, the frogs seem to be doing it for the kids: Limited resources keep them close to their offspring-and to each other-a condition that may have influenced the evolution of parenting strategies in other species as well.
Considering the consequences of antagonistic co-adaptation in the evolution of parent-offspring interactions might change predictions of conflict resolution theory, which assumed independent segregation of offspring and parental strategies [3], by, for example, constraining the evolutionary success of selfish and costly offspring strategies [16], [19], [32].
Key processes included the effects of ice melting and hydration reactions, and the thermal and chemical evolutions of parent bodies were numerically determined (Grimm and McSween, 1989; Young et al., 1999; Cohen and Coker, 2000; Young, 2001).
There's a long article about William and Martha Sears (not, says their son, the stereotypical attachment parents themselves) and the evolution of attachment parenting into "the new common sense," with some caveats about how common sense becomes common.
With that in mind, I believe these five things modern parents are getting right make great building blocks for the evolution of positive parenting.
