Abstract
The seminal works of Robert Trivers can be summarised in three theories: parental investment, reciprocal altruism and sexual selection. These three theories provide a framework for contemporary biology, and their relevance to birds is evident in the context of optimal clutch size, parental nestling investment, and sexual selection in dimorphic species. This concise article aims put examples of the aforementioned arguments in the context of birds, incorporating select examples derived from recent literature. The articles and hypotheses of Robert Trivers have been drivers of great research, which have served to form new branches of biology and above all to resolve gaps on natural selection and sexual selection left by Charles Darwin.
