Abstract
We review the results obtained using the Penna model for biological ageing (T.J.P. Penna, J. Stat. Phys. 78 (1995) 1629) when different strategies of parental care are introduced into evolving populations. These results conce rn to: longevity of semelparous populations; self-organization of female me nopause; the spatial distribution of the populations and finally, sexual fi delity.
