Egg Rejection by Cowbird Hosts in Grasslands [PDF]
The Auk, 2000 AbstractWe tested Field Sparrows (Spizella pusilla), Vesper Sparrows (Pooecetes gramineus), Lark Sparrows (Chondestes grammacus), Grasshopper Sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum), Dickcissels (Spiza americana), Eastern Meadowlarks (Sturnella magna), and Western Meadowlarks (S. neglecta) to determine whether the low level (<10%) of observed parasitism by

Predators Reject Yellow Perch Egg Skeins
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 2016 AbstractDespite the high rate of egg mortality due to predation, few teleost fishes utilize external casings for protecting their eggs. The gelatinous egg matrix, or skein, produced by Yellow Perch Perca flavescens may provide a variety of benefits including deterring egg predators.
