Imprinting in an interspecific brood parasitic bird
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023Many animals learn to recognize conspecifics after an early experience with them through sexual imprinting. For brood parasitic birds, it is not possible to develop conspecific recognition using cues provided by their foster parents.

What's bugging brood parasites?
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2001Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) might reduce populations of the songbird species they parasitize, including endangered species. Data are therefore needed on the frequency with which cowbirds use different species of foster parents. Hahn et al.

Evolution of Avian Brood Parasitism and Phylogenetic History of Brood Parasites
2017The fascination with avian brood parasitism has spawned a wealth of research into breeding strategies and their evolutionary consequences. Yet until today, there is no clear consensus how brood parasitism has evolved. On current evidence, it is more likely that interspecific brood parasitism evolved directly from an ancestral species with parental care,

Abstract Brood parasitism is the most fascinating feature of cuckoo biology. Cuckoo parasites use other species to rear their young, and how the behavior evolved as a reproductive strategy demands an explanation (Darwin 1859, Hamilton 1972).

Genetic continuity of brood‐parasitic indigobird species
Molecular Ecology, 2005AbstractSpeciation in brood‐parasitic indigobirds (genus Vidua) is a consequence of behavioural imprinting in both males and females. Mimicry of host song by males and host fidelity in female egg laying result in reproductive isolation of indigobirds associated with a given host species.

Parasitic Behaviour of Interspecific Brood Parasitic Females
2017Interspecific avian brood parasites have to solve unique problems associated with their reproductive habit: they need to recognize potential hosts, search for and locate their nests, monitor nests progress and return to them at the appropriate time for egg laying.

In this paper, we consider an aspect of the intra-specific brood-parasitism with a mathematical modelling. As in case of moorhen Gallinula chloropus, the case dealt with in this paper in such that just a part of the whole population has the parasitising behaviour against the individuals belonging to another part of non-parasite subpopulation that does ...

Abstract Avian brood parasitism is the association between a bird (the parasite) that lays its eggs in the nests of another (the foster or host species), thus gaining the care of the foster parent. The young brood parasite takes the food that the foster parents bring for their own young, often at a cost of the survival of the foster ...

Abstract The evolutionary, ecological and behavioral questions posed by obligate brood parasites are among the most intriguing of all contemporary ornithological topics. Avian brood parasites lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and may be a major contributing factor driving several species of songbirds to near extinction.

Adaptations of Brood Parasitic Eggs
2017This chapter deals with adaptations of brood parasitic eggs, which has received a lot of attention by researchers and naturalists for centuries. Both scientists and laymen are intrigued by the sophisticated traits that are enabling parasites to fool or force their hosts into accepting their eggs.
