Does experimentally simulated presence of a common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) affect egg rejection and breeding success in the red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio)?

Acta Ethologica, 2021
Providing artificial eggs is a commonly used technique to understand brood parasitism, mainly by the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). However, the presence of a cuckoo egg in the host nest would also require an earlier physical presence of the common ...

Naïve hosts of avian brood parasites accept foreign eggs, whereas older hosts fine-tune foreign egg discrimination during laying [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Many potential hosts of social parasites recognize and reject foreign intruders, and reduce or altogether escape the negative impacts of parasitism.

Importance of cooperation: How host nest defenses effectively prevent brood parasitism from the cuckoos

iScience, 2023
Summary: As the frontline defense against avian brood parasitism, nest defense is important in reducing nest parasitism and increasing host fitness.

Ancient origin and maternal inheritance of blue cuckoo eggs [PDF]

, 2016
Maternal inheritance via the female-specific W chromosome was long ago proposed as a potential solution to the evolutionary enigma of co-existing host-specific races (or 'gentes') in avian brood parasites.

Variation in plasma oxidative status and testosterone level in relation to egg-eviction effort and age of brood-parasitic common cuckoo nestlings [PDF]

, 2012
To avoid competition for parental care, brood-parasitic Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) nestlings evict all of the host's eggs and nestlings within a few days after hatching.

Nest desertion as an anti-parasitism strategy in hosts selects for late egg-laying behavior in cuckoos

iScience, 2023
Summary: Studies have shown that brood parasites lay their eggs early in the egg-laying sequence of their hosts, providing them with the advantage of earlier hatching.

Experimental evidence that cuckoos preferentially parasitize host nests early in their laying cycle

Avian Research, 2022
Brood parasites, such as the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus), rely on manipulating hosts from other species to raise their offspring. Selection should favor individuals that are able to identify and choose host nests that closely match the incubation ...

Hawk mimicry does not reduce attacks of cuckoos by highly aggressive hosts

Avian Research, 2018
Background Resemblance to raptors such as hawks (Accipiter spp.) is considered to be an adaptive strategy of cuckoos (Cuculus spp.), which has evolved to protect cuckoos against host attacks.
