Nest architecture influences host use by avian brood parasites and is shaped by coevolutionary dynamics

Brood (social) parasites and their hosts exhibit a wide range of adaptations and counter-adaptations as part of their ongoing coevolutionary arms races. Obligate avian brood parasites are expected to use potential host species with more easily accessible

Offspring development mode and the evolution of brood parasitism

, 2009
In the evolution of interspecific social parasites, the shift from facultative to obligate brood parasitism is thought to be driven by the cost of parental investment.

An updated list of parasitic cuckoos and their hosts in China

Avian Research
Avian brood parasitism is a unique reproductive behavior in which parasitic birds depend on other species to incubate their eggs and raise their offspring. In China, there are 20 species of cuckoos in the family Cuculidae, order Cuculiformes, of which 17

Genomic resources for comparative analyses of obligate avian brood parasitism

Examples of convergent evolution, wherein distantly related organisms evolve similar traits, including behaviors, underscore the adaptive power of natural selection. In birds, obligate brood parasitism, and the associated loss of parental care behaviors, has evolved independently in seven different lineages, though little is known about the genetic ...

When will rejection of parasite nestlings by hosts of nonevicting avian brood parasites be favored? A misimprinting-equilibrium model

It has been suggested that discrimination and rejection of the nestlings of avian brood parasites are most likely to evolve when the parasite nestling is raised alongside the host nestlings, for example, many cowbird-host systems.

Deficiency in egg rejection in a host species as a response to the absence of brood parasitism

, 2015
Different populations of a host species subject to variable patterns of selection due to cuckoo parasitism provide an optimal situation for studying natural selection and coevolution in action.

Coevolutionary adaptations in avian brood parasites and their hosts

, 2001
Dette prosjektet har satt søkelyset på to problemstillinger knyttet til samevolusjonen mellom parasitt og vert; 1) utvikling av vertstilpasninger som mottrekk mot tilpasninger hos parasitten, med spesiell fokus på eggtilpasninger, og 2) mekanismer som kan forklare den store variasjonen i forsvarsatferd mot kullparasittisme blant ulike verter.
