🚨New paper out
Our study reveals how barn owl parents coordinate nightly chick feeding. Females step up when males underperform & pairs that meet more often at the nest share work more equally boosting chick survival🦉

Our fine-scale movement data show roles spanning uniparental male care to highly balanced effort. Females often ramp up hunting when the male’s performance drops (see GIF) or resources seem scarce. This dynamic coordination buffers offspring against changing conditions.
