Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Common cuckoo nestlings from different populations show varying degrees of mimicry of warbler begging calls, with the Yongnianwa population being the most accurate and the Zhalong population the least. Overall, these cuckoos employ a dual strategy: they conservatively mimic the high‐frequency components of host calls while adaptively adjusting their ...

Predicting spatial patterns of Cuculus canorus under climate change in Türkiye
Turkish Journal of ForestryClimate change is reshaping species distributions worldwide, with migratory birds representing one of the most vulnerable groups in this process. The Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus), a species of high ecological importance, is widely distributed across ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Timing pattern of Common Cuckoo parasitism and its relation to host nest attendance
Ibis, EarlyView.Classical works show the adaptive importance of precise timing of egg‐laying in brood parasitic Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus to ensure sufficient incubation time and successful hatching. Laying in the late afternoon has been suggested to increase the chance of secretive parasitism and therefore escape the aggressive mobbing by hosts, yet this ...

The occurrence of rufous-morph Cuckoo Cuculus canorus females in NE Slovenia
, 2017 Summary Between 1982 and 2016, I observed 103 Cuckoos Cuculus canorus in NE Slovenia (3,170 km2). The data were collected randomly, thus only individuals that were seen or ringed are included in the total. Among these, seven females (6.7%)

Can bird abundance declines be detected by citizen science programmes?:A case study using Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus [PDF]
, 2017 Using data from two independent UK citizen science schemes we investigate evidence for declines in abundance of Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus, a species that is particularly easy to record.
