way that offspring are raised within cooperative breeding species, the fitness of offspring is greater than offspring who are not given aid by helpers. I will be discussing research done on this phenomena and its effects on fitness in the red wolf (Canis rufus) (Sparkman et al., 2010), the white-fronted bee-eater (Merops bullockoides) (Emlen & Wrege, 1991), and the acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) (Koenig et al., 2007).

Someone can’t just say that Coyotes and Gray wolves are the same when actually they’re completely different. The differences between wolves and…
