UV reflectance as a cue in egg discrimination in two Prinia species exploited differently by brood parasites in Taiwan
Yang, Canchao; Wang, Longwu; Hsu, Yu-Cheng; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Liang, Wei; Stokke, Bård Gunnar (Journal article, 2013)Birds are capable of seeing the ultraviolet light (UV) spectrum and as a consequence have evolved UV-reflective structures with signalling functions. Avian eggs also reflect in the UV spectrum but the importance of UV egg ... -
Why do brood parasitic birds lay strong-shelled eggs?
Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Fossøy, Frode; Liang, Wei; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Yang, Canchao; Møller, Anders Pape (Journal article, 2012)Brood parasitic birds constitute a model system for the study of coevolution. Such parasites are unique by having evolved unusually thick eggshells for their body size. Thick eggshells have been hypothesized to evolve as ...
