Comparative analysis of female bubbling calls: Within- and between-species variation among the four species of Cuculus cuckoos

Avian Research
In brood-parasitic Cuculus cuckoos, male vocalizations are species-specific and easily distinguishable, whereas female calls are remarkably similar across species, making species identification challenging.

A cuckoo in wolves' clothing? Chemical mimicry in a specialized cuckoo wasp of the European beewolf (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae and Crabronidae)

Frontiers in Zoology, 2008
Background Host-parasite interactions are among the most important biotic relationships. Host species should evolve mechanisms to detect their enemies and employ appropriate counterstrategies.

Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) nestlings adapt their begging behavior to the host signal system

Avian Research
Common Cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) dependent on parental care for post-hatching demonstrate an intriguing ability to modify their begging vocalizations to ensure maximum care and resources from their interspecific foster parents.

Associations between diet and the gut microbiome in brood-parasitic nestlings: Common Cuckoos reared by three host species

Avian Research
The gut microbiome is crucial for growth, nutrient acquisition, and health. Multiple factors shape its composition and function, and diet is consistently identified as a key environmental driver.

Fractional Order PID Controller Design for Level Control of Three Tank System Based on Improved Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm [PDF]

Journal of Intelligent Procedures in Electrical Technology, 2015
Fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is a generalization of standard PID controller using fractional calculus. Compared with the Standard PID controller, two adjustable variables “differential order” and “integral order” are added to the PID ...

Reactions of wintering passerines to male calls of the European cuckoo Cuculus canorus

Scientific Reports
The reaction of birds to the nest parasite, the European cuckoo Cuculus canorus, has been the subject of extensive testing in various aspects. However, while the cuckoo is a long-distance migrant, some of its hosts are sedentary species.
