Phénomène où des individus non reproducteurs participent à toutes ou à certaines tâches liées à la nidification des individus de leur propre espèce comme la construction du nid, l'incubation ainsi que l'alimentation des jeunes. Ce comportement est surtout répandu chez les oiseaux associés aux écosystèmes terrestres, tropicaux et subtropicaux. Les individus non reproducteurs qui évoluent à l'intérieur d'un système de coopération n'ont pas nécessairement de liens de parenté avec les individus reproducteurs 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20coop%C3%A9ration%20lors%20de%20la%20reproduction
