Double Parasitism by Two Cuckoo Gentes in a Daurian Redstart Nest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDouble parasitism is rare in forest‐breeding hosts of the common cuckoo, where females typically defend exclusive territories. We report a unique case in a Daurian redstart nest involving two different cuckoo gentes, despite one gens overwhelmingly dominating parasitism events in the population. This observation suggests that female cuckoos may be less

Variations of Hawk Mimicry Traits in the Four Sympatric Cuculus Cuckoos
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 A well-known visual signal, hawk-like features such as yellow eyes and feet, and barred underparts have been recognized as coevolutionary traits obtained against host defense in Cuculus cuckoos.

Number of syllables in cuckoo Cuculus canorus calls: A test using a citizen science project. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 International audienceRecent studies revealed that the call of the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus has more inter-individual than intra-individual variation and that the number of syllables depends on environmental conditions, but also the presence of male

The complete mitochondrial genome of Indian Cuckoo Cuculus micropterus (Aves: Cuculiformes)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The Indian Cuckoo, Cuculus micropterus, belongs to the family Cuculidae. In this paper, we sequenced and analysized the complete mitochondrial genome of C. micropterus. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. micropterus is 17,541 bp in length, which was

Urban Parks Act as Refuges for Avian Biodiversity in Chaoyang District, Beijing (China). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe assessed bird species richness, seasonal dynamics, and habitat associations across four urban parks in Beijing's Chaoyang District (China) using standardised point count surveys. A total of 68 bird species were recorded, with the highest diversity occurring in parks with extensive wetlands and marked seasonal variation during migration periods.

The Presence and Behaviour of Birds at Two Prescribed Fires in Sweden. [PDF]
Ecol EvolShifting fire regimes pose immediate threats to animal conservation. Swedish birds appear to mostly ignore prescribed fire, and some species even continue to sing. Behavioural plasticity towards fire is poorly understood, but may prove to be an essential tool in animal conservation.

Avian brood parasitism in Italy: another perspective
Avocetta, 2020 We present a quantitative analysis of the data reported in the only published review of parasitism frequency on hosts of Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus in a Mediterranean area. We first eliminated a bias potentially introduced by the method by which data
