Although parental investment and cooperative breeding have been well studied through the years little attention has been given to comparing parental investment between helpers and current dependent offspring when they occur together. This study aims to determine the relative amount of parental investment cooperatively breeding Acorn Woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus)place in their fledglings and helpers as indexed by the breeder?s mobbing response to a model predator. This will help further refine life history theory and the role of helpers.
