    • Coevolution in Action: Disruptive Selection on Egg Colour in an Avian Brood Parasite and its Host 

      Yang, Chanchao; Liang, Wei; Cai, Yan; Shi, Suhua; Takasu, Fugo; Møller, Anders pape; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Fossøy, Frode; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Stokke, Bård Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Background: 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 ...

    • Diversity of parasitic cuckoos and their hosts in China 

      Yang, Canchao; Liang, Wei; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Cai, Yan; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Fossøy, Frode; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin (Journal article, 2012)
      In this exposé we provide the first review of host use by brood parasitic cuckoos in a multiple-cuckoo system in China, based on our own long-term field data and a compilation of observations obtained from the literature. ...

    • Host selection in parasitic birds: are open-cup nesting insectivorous passerines always suitable cuckoo hosts? 

      Yang, Canchao; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Cai, Yan; Shi, Suhua; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Møller, Anders pape; Liang, Wei; Grim, Tomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      How do potential hosts escape detrimental interactions with brood parasites? Current consensus is that hole-nesting and granivorous birds avoid brood parasites, like common cuckoos Cuculus canorus , by their inaccessible ...

    • Large hawk-cuckoo Hierococcyx sparveroides parasitism on the Chinese babax Babax lanceolatus may be an evolutionary recent host-parasite system 

      Yang, Canchao; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Cai, Yan; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Liang, Wei (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      We documented brood parasitism by the poorly studied Large Hawk-Cuckoo on a previously unknown host species, the Chinese Babax. Furthermore, we describe a new egg colour for the Large Hawk-Cuckoo. The parasitism rate of ...
