Social Transmission of a Host Defense Against Cuckoo Parasitism
Science, 2009Defeating the Cuckoo Brood parasite-host interactions show ongoing antagonistic coevolution. What mediates rapid behavioral changes that do not reflect genetic change? Davies and Welbergen (p. 1318 ) show that reed warblers learn from their neighbors to behave aggressively toward ...

Abstract The main message of Chapter 12 was that dunnocks use simple rules to guide their parental effort. Females always feed the young in their nest and, in the absence of intraspecific brood parasitism (Chapter 7), they can have complete confidence that all the young dunnocks in their nest are their own.

Cuckoos and parasitic ants: Interspecific brood parasitism as an evolutionary arms race
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1989Each summer thousands of nesting birds feed cuckoo chicks that have killed the hosts' own young. Likewise, worker ants rear the brood of other ants that have killed the workers' queen or even induced the workers to kill their queen themselves. In both cases the hosts spend time and energy raising offspring that, to them, are of no genetic value.

Color Morph Variation in Two Brood Parasites: Common Cuckoo and Lesser Cuckoo
Ornithological Science, 2016Abstract Variation in plumage color in the family Cuculidae has become an interesting subject for model systems in the study of avian color evolution. It is notable that in certain parasitic species, such as the Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus and Lesser Cuckoo C.

Parasites, cuckoos, and avian population dynamics
1991Abstract The last 10 years have seen significant increases in the understanding of the role that parasites and pathogens play in the regulation of host abundance. These advances are based, in part, on a theoretical framework developed to examine the population dynamics of parasite-host relationships (Anderson and May 1978,1979,1982; May ...

Cuckoos, cowbirds and the persistence of brood parasitism
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1999Brood parasites provide a particularly good opportunity for the study of host-parasite evolution because they directly affect the reproductive success of their hosts. Two parasitic species, the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) and the brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater), differ widely in their relationships with their hosts, yet share the attribute of

Brood parasitism of rosefinches by cuckoos: suitable host or accidental parasitism?
Journal of Ethology, 2018The arms race between avian brood parasites and their hosts is a classic model of co-evolution. Parasitic breeding by the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) in the nests of the Chinese beautiful rosefinch (Carpodacus davidianus) was found from May to July 2017 in Saihanba National Forest Park, Heibei, China.

Coevolution with hosts underpins speciation in brood-parasitic cuckoos
ScienceCoevolution between interacting species is thought to increase biodiversity, but evidence linking microevolutionary processes to macroevolutionary patterns is scarce. We leveraged two decades of behavioral research coupled with historical DNA analysis to reveal that coevolution with hosts underpins speciation in brood-parasitic bronze-cuckoos.
