Intensity of biparental care in Columbiformes and other selected bird taxa: a summary of the main ultimate and proximate mechanisms
 Kopejtková, Lucie ; Landová, Eva (advisor) ; Tomášek, Oldřich (referee)
Order Columbiformes is not very numerous group of birds but their importance for recent science and for people in general in significant. They are one of the most studied group of birds and knowledge we now have of parental care and proximal mechanisms of its onset was obtained from this avian order. The main factors related to the development of intensive parental care, biparental care and cooperation between partners in parental care will first be discussed in individual chapters. The main evolutionary constraints and the main conflicts both between the sexes and parent-offspring conflict, which are closely related to the evolution of parental care, will be mentioned. The specific position of Columbiformes from the point of view of ultimate mechanisms will be mentioned. Further chapters should be devoted to the most important proximate mechanisms influencing parental care in Columbiformes. Keywords: Biparental care, Columbiformes, cooperation in parental care, parental conflict, parent-offspring conflict, prolactin
