Megjegyzések:	Earlier findings suggest that female house mice,Mus musculus, breeding communally care for eachother's offspring indiscriminately in a communal nest. The ultimate explanation for this apparentlyaltruistic behaviour is still not well understood. Communal breeding creates a situation in whichdeceptive behaviour may be an alternative tactic, possibly coexisting with genuine altruism. To inves-tigate this phenomenon we studied caring behaviour and infanticide as two opposite facets of communalbreeding in triplets of unrelated females, and developed a dynamic model to help interpret our results. Ofthe 142 litters observed, in 30 all pups were killed by adult females and in 37 only some of the littersurvived infanticide. Our empirical results are in concordance with our model's prediction and show thatasynchrony in reproduction has a strong nonlinear effect on reproductive success: pups of litters born inthe middle of the caring period of any female in the group had the lowest expected survival probability.Females that partly or totally lost their litter tended to spend less time caring for pups that were not theirown, but they still contributed considerably to the common care. These findings suggest that infanticideis an effective strategy to exploit nestmates. As house mice are unable to discriminate between similarlyaged young pups, synchronous breeding (e.g. by oestrus synchronization) may be an effective counter-strategy against infanticidal conspecifics
