Who moved my eggs? An experimental test of the egg arrangement hypothesis for the rejection of brood parasitic eggs [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2014 Avian brood parasitism is an exceptional reproductive strategy whereby parasites reduce their own costs associated with parental care and impose them on the host parents. Consequently, host species have evolved multiple defensive mechanisms to combat parasitism. The vast majority of research attention to date has examined host defenses to recognize and

Egg Rejection: Getting Rid of a Parasite in the Nest
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2022 Some species of birds, called brood parasites, lay their eggs in the nests of other species (called the hosts). Male and female hosts take care of the parasitic offspring. In most cases, the hosts raise only the parasitic chicks, which reduces the breeding success of the host birds.

Which egg features predict egg rejection responses in American robins? Replicating Rothstein's (1982) study. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 AbstractRothstein (Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 11, 1982, 229) was one of the first comprehensive studies to examine how different egg features influence egg rejection behaviors of avian brood parasite–hosts. The methods and conclusions of Rothstein (1982) laid the foundation for subsequent experimental brood parasitism studies over the past ...

Age-Related Brood Parasitism and Egg Rejection in Magpie Hosts
The American Naturalist, 2020 When the strength or nature of a host-parasite interaction changes over the host life cycle, the consequences of parasitism can depend on host population age structure. Avian brood parasites reduce hosts' breeding success, and host age may play a role in this interaction if younger hosts are more likely parasitized and/or less able to defend themselves.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (Nano SIMS) is established as a powerful analytical tool to visualize and quantify the membrane fouling layers. ABSTRACT Membrane technology has garnered considerable attention for applications in wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Nevertheless, membrane fouling remains a major barrier, yet the lack of
