The Screaming Cowbird (Molothrus rufoaxillaris) is a brood-parasite specialized in parasitizing the Grayish Baywing (Agelaioides badius). Recently, it started to parasite a new host, the Austral Blackbird (Curaeus curaeus), which has driven the ...

Young birds communicate their need to parents through complex begging displays that include visual and acoustic cues. Nestlings of interspecific brood parasites must ‘tune’ into these communication channels to secure parental care from their hosts. Various studies show that parasitic nestlings can effectively manipulate host parental behaviour through ...

Host-parasite coevolution beyond the nestling stage? Mimicry of host fledglings by the specialist screaming cowbird. [PDF]
textbook examples of host-parasite coevolution. By contrast, reciprocal adaptations and counteradaptations beyond the egg stage in brood parasites and their hosts have received less attention.

Primer registro de parasitismo del federal (Amblyramphus holosericeus) por parte del especialista Tordo pico corto (Molothrus rufoaxillaris) [PDF]
Screaming Cowbird (Molothrus rufoaxillaris) is highly specialized parasitizing only three species, making records of new hosts very informative. During 2017 we studied nesting success on roadsides in Argentine Pampas.

A comparative study of the structural and mechanical properties of avian eggshells among hosts of obligate brood parasitic cowbirds (genus Molothrus) [PDF]
Obligate avian brood parasites depend on hosts for parental care, which in turn suffer fitness losses as a result of parasitism. Mechanisms by which brood parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus spp.) reduce host breeding success include the puncture (M ...

Observações sobre o parasitismo de Molothrus rufoaxillaris sobre Gnorimopsar chopi e outros aspectos de sua história natural no norte de Minas Gerais: por que Agelaioides fringillarius não é parasitado? [PDF]
O chopim–picumã (Molothrus rufoaxillaris) é, dentre os parasitas de ninhadas, a espécie maisespecializada, possuindo apenas três hospedeiros: o asa-de-telha (Agelaioides badius), o pássaro-preto(Gnorimopsar chopi) e o dragão (Pseudoleistes virescens). Em
