Behavior and survival of parasitic Shiny Cowbird (<i>Molothrus bonariensis</i>) fledglings. [PDF]
Curr ZoolAbstract For songbirds, the post-fledging period is critical for development and survival, as young must learn to get food, practice flying, and identify predators to become independent from their parents and disperse or migrate. Obligate avian brood parasites, like cuckoos and cowbirds, lay eggs in nests of other bird species that ...

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020 Comparative studies of parasites in sympatric bird species have been generally scarce. Parasitic infection/transmission can be spread in a number of ways that suggests possible direct and indirect, horizontal transmission between avian hosts. In order to

The Parasitic Habits of Molothrus [PDF]
Nature, 1881 IN the “Origin of Species” I adopted the view maintained by some writers, that the cuckoo lays her eggs in other birds' nests, owing to her habit of laying them at intervals of two or three days; for it could hardly fail to be disadvantageous to her, more especially as she has to migrate at a very early period, to have young birds of different ages and

Constructing culture in cowbirds (Molothrus ater). [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2007 In past work, the authors produced divergent patterns of courtship and communication in juvenile male cowbirds (Molothrus ater) by providing them with different social experiences during their 1st year. Here the authors determined whether these different social patterns could be transmitted to new generations of juvenile males.

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.
