Journal of Avian Biology, 2023 Brood parasites are expected to lay only one egg per parasitized nest, as the existence of several parasitic nestlings in a brood increases competition and can lead the starvation of some of them.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Hosts of brood parasitic cuckoos often employ mobbing attacks to defend their nests and, when mobbing is costly, hosts are predicted to adjust their mobbing to match parasitism risk. While evidence exists for fine-tuned plasticity, it remains unclear why

Insects, 2022 (1) Background: Many insects have evolved different strategies to adapt to subzero temperatures and parasites, but the supercooling response of pollinator populations under the brood parasitism pressure has not been sufficiently investigated. (2) Methods:

Evolutionary origins and patterns of diversification in animal brood parasitism
, 2023 Brood parasitism involves the exploitation of host parental care rather than the extraction of resources directly from hosts. Although often excluded, we show that brood parasitism fits within existing frameworks of parasitic strategies, and formulate ...

Evidence for Interspecific Brood Parasite Detection and Removal in Burying Beetles
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2018 We tested whether brood parasitism could be successful between two co-occurring species of burying beetles, Nicrophorus guttula and Nicrophorus marginatus, and whether these species exhibit an adaptive response to brood parasitism by detecting and ...

An Experimental Test of Defenses Against Avian Brood Parasitism in a Recent Host
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Theoretical studies predict that hosts of avian brood parasites should evolve defenses against parasitism in a matter of decades. However, opportunities to test these predictions are limited because brood parasites rarely switch to naïve hosts.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Variation in avian reproductive strategies is often studied from a comparative perspective, since even closely-related taxa differ greatly in the degree of polygyny, extra-pair paternity (EPP) or intra-specific brood-parasitism.

Generalists and specialists of brood parasitism in spider wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)
, 2023 Based on emergence records from trap nests and naturally occurring nests, we determined the brood parasitism behaviour of Irenangelus punctipleuris (Pompilidae: Ceropalinae) for the first time and that of Dipogon (Nipponodipogon) nagasei (Pompilidae ...
