Sibling rivalry and intergenerational conflict are not limited to humans. Among seals and piglets, storks and burying beetles, in bird nests and beehives, family conflicts can be deadly serious, determining who will survive and who will perish. Mock tells us what scientists have learned about this disturbing side of family dynamics in the nature.
