Yes, I suppose you’re right that I am only considering “species who raise their young after birth”.

I don’t see egg laying species behavior as being very representative of the game theoretic patterns in childcare species behavior, though.

Ditching after birth vs raising the young is clearly such a massively important game theoretic dimension that it likely substantially determines the workable ranges for most other dimensions. How can we make conclusions across such separate subspaces of organism game space?
