3/3 Why cool? Means helpers in cooperative breeders (e.g. us) could have cryptic maternally-mediated beneficial effects on pre-natal development of young. Our data implicate help not group size effect as mat reaction norms to *female* helpers, who work twice as hard as males (tinyurl.com/38kv8jp2)

2/3 We show helpers reduce mum's post-natal workload (see pic) – may allow mums to invest > in egg (which only mums can do). And/or: We know helpers increase overall nestling feeding rate (tinyurl.com/38kv8jp2) - may increase mum's benefit from investing in the egg. Or: not adaptive (modest effect!)

Hey Steve - v cool! Will use in my nervous system evolution lectures : ) Was hunting in the paper for a neat plot of the data showing gymnogenes as an outlier. I see that I can make one from S1b table, but thought I'd ask in case you have a flashy one from the original submission. Thanks!
