dc.description.abstractImplicit in most ideas explaining the siblicidal behaviour of nestlings that kill related siblings is that, by eliminating a competitor, surviving nestlings increase their share of food resources from the parents (e.g. O’Connor 1978; Stinson 1979; Simmons 1988; Mock et al. 1990; Mock & Parker 1997). However, in a detailed paper assessing the food benefits to pelicans (Pelicanusspp.), Ploger (1997) found that senior (surviving) nestlings did not receive more food once their nest mate had been eliminated.
