Sex allocation in relation to host races in the brood-parasitic common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Sex allocation theory and empirical evidence both suggest that natural selection should favour maternal control of offspring sex ratio in relation to their ability to invest in the offspring.

Exploiting Nest Defense Behavior of Hosts: A Case Study of Successful Parasitism by a Common Cuckoo [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIn this study, we document the case of a common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) successfully locating and parasitizing the nest of a gray bushchat (Saxicola ferreus) by exploiting the latter's nest defense behavior in Liuzhi, Guizhou, southwest China.
