Egg-spot pattern rather than egg colour affects conspecific egg rejection in the house sparrow (Passer domesticus)

, 2020
Brood parasitism could be a selective pressure on each female to have a type of egg that permits recognition. House sparrows (Passer domesticus) undergo conspecific brood parasitism and can recognise parasitic eggs.

Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (

Host response to conspecific brood parasitism in colonial red‐breasted mergansers Mergus serrator: positioning of parasitic eggs within the clutch

Journal of Avian Biology
Brood parasitism can be costly to host fitness, which in turn may favour host strategies that decrease these costs. Duck (Anatinae) nests are often parasitized by eggs of other ducks, and one way that hosts can respond to potentially costly brood ...

Mechanisms of egg recognition in two cuckoo bunting hosts

Avian Research
Recognition and rejection of parasitic eggs are crucial host defenses against brood parasitism. Template-based recognition and recognition by discordancy are two main mechanisms of egg recognition used by bird hosts.

Human–wildlife conflict and farmland transfer under informal land institutions: Evidence from rural China

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) affects not only agricultural production but also how farming households adjust access to and use of land. Existing research has focused largely on welfare losses and land‐use responses, while little is known about whether ecological risk is associated with the governance arrangements through which farmland is ...
