Double Parasitism by Two Cuckoo Gentes in a Daurian Redstart Nest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBrood parasites lay their eggs in the nest of other species, thereby transferring the costs of parental care to their hosts. Occasionally, more than one female lays an egg in the same host nest, a phenomenon known as multiple parasitism.

Host‐Specific Vocal Similarity in Fledgling Levaillant's Cuckoos and Babblers in West Africa [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionVocal mimicry in brood parasites may enhance fledgling survival by facilitating care or social acceptance by hosts. We quantified vocal similarity between fledgling Levaillant's cuckoos (Clamator levaillantii) and host fledglings using recordings from ...

An adaptive Cuckoo search algorithm for optimisation
Applied Computing and Informatics, 2018 Cuckoo search is one of many nature-inspired algorithms used extensively to solve optimisation problems in different fields of engineering. It is a very effective in solving global optimisation because it is able to maintain balance between local and ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Because of its parasitic habits, reproduction costs of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) are mostly spent in pre-laying activities. Female costs are limited to searching host nests and laying eggs, whereas, males spend time in performing intense vocal ...

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2023 We utilise a metaheuristic optimisation method, inspired by nature, called the Lévy‐flight firefly algorithm (LFA), to tackle the power regulation and user grouping in the NOMA systems. Abstract The non‐orthogonal multiple access strategies have shown promise to boost fifth generation and sixth generation wireless networks' spectral efficiency and ...
