We studied the behavior of female cowbirds breeding in pinyon–juniper woodlands in New Mexico, USA, on two adjacent sites, one an active cattle ranch, and the other a site that was not grazed by ...

Ecology of parasitism of Brown-headed Cowbirds by haematozoa

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1992
We quantified haematozoa infections in 964 Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) sampled over three summers in eastern Ontario. Our objective was to use the cowbird–haematozoa system to assess practical and theoretical aspects of testing Hamilton and Zuk's parasite hypothesis of sexual selection.
