“…Lack, 1968;Clutton-Brock, 1991;Smiseth et al, 2012). The finding that larval gregariousness preceded family-living in leaf beetles of the subfamily Cassidinae is in line with this idea (Chaboo et al, 2014). A species might thus not only exhibit both the subsocial and the 'gregarious' pathway to group formation during different stages of its life cycle (Costa, 2006); rather, it might follow the two pathways at different times in the course of its evolutionary history.…”

“…For instance, abundant and persistent resources (including plant materials such as foliage and wood) should generally limit the scope for intra-familial competition, and could select for sibling cooperation in foraging or anti-predator defence (e.g. Lin, 2006;Chaboo et al, 2014) and offspring assistance in nest or colony maintenance (e.g. Biedermann & Taborsky, 2011;Howard & Thorne, 2011) because they are often poorly digestible and exposed to predation (Tallamy & Wood, 1986).…”

Family life forms an integral part of the life history of species across the animal kingdom and plays a crucial role in the evolution of animal sociality. Our current understanding of family life, however, is almost exclusively based on studies that (i) focus on parental care and associated family interactions (such as those arising from sibling rivalry and parent-offspring conflict), and (ii) investigate these phenomena in the advanced family systems of mammals, birds, and eusocial insects. Here, we argue that these historical biases have fostered the neglect of key processes shaping social life in ancestral family systems, and thus profoundly hamper our understanding of the (early) evolution of family life. Based on a comprehensive survey of the literature, we first illustrate that the strong focus on parental care in advanced social systems has deflected scrutiny of other important social processes such as sibling cooperation, parent-offspring competition and offspring assistance. We then show that accounting for these neglected processes - and their changing role over time - could profoundly alter our understanding of the origin and subsequent evolution of family life. Finally, we outline how this 'diachronic' perspective on the evolution of family living provides novel insights into general processes driving the evolution of animal sociality. Overall, we infer that the explicit consideration of thus-far neglected facets of family life, together with their study across the whole diversity of family systems, are crucial to advance our understanding of the processes that shape the evolution of social life.

“…Variation in the order of magnitude of species numbers, especially the much larger density of Omaspides trichroa larvae, can possibly be explained by the behavior of maternal care, which increases immature survivorship (Windsor and Choe 1994, Chaboo et al 2014). Thus, maximum density of Omaspides trichroa larvae per plant was much higher than for the other species.…”

The population phenology of the cassidines, Coptocycla arcuata and Omaspides trichroa, and the chrysomeline, Platyphora axillaris, was studied at Serra dos Órgãos National Park, State of Rio de Janeiro, southeast Brazil. Monthly surveys of larvae and adults were conducted between 2008 and 2011 at approximately 1000 m altitude on their respective host plants, Cordia polycephala (Boraginaceae), Ipomoea philomega (Convolvulaceae) and Solanum scuticum (Solanaceae). This is the first observation of larviparity and host record for Platyphora axillaris. Although having different life history traits, all species showed similar phenologies. They were abundant from October to March, months of high temperatures and intense rainfall, with two distinct reproductive peaks in the same season. Abundance dropped abruptly during the coldest and driest months, from May to August. Frequently none of these species were recorded during June and July. This phenological pattern is similar to other Chrysomelidae living in subtropical areas of Brazil. Temperature and rainfall appear to be the major factors influencing the fluctuation of these three species.
