No evidence of host-specific egg mimicry in Asian koels.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Avian brood parasitism is costly for the host, in many cases leading to the evolution of defenses like discrimination of parasitic eggs. The parasite, in turn, may evolve mimetic eggs as a counter-adaptation to host egg rejection.

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.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Coevolution in action: disruptive selection on egg colour in an avian brood parasite and its host. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Trait polymorphism can evolve as a consequence of frequency-dependent selection. Coevolutionary interactions between hosts and parasites may lead to selection on both to evolve extreme phenotypes deviating from the norm, through disruptive selection.Here,

Evaluation of chemical indices for the identification of incubator-reject eggs in egg products
Food Control, 2020 Abstract The use of incubator-reject eggs (IRE) is not allowed for the preparation of egg products. However, some producers fraudulently use them for whole egg products manufacture. The aim of this research was to study the efficiency of European legislative indices (β-hydroxybutyric acid and lactic acid), uracil, furosine and organic acids for IRE ...
