      Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between phenotype and environment, i.e. whether observed trait ...

      Yang, Canchao; Wang, Longwu; Cheng, Shun-Jen; Hsu, Yu-Cheng; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Røskaft, Eivin; Moksnes, Arne; Liang, Wei; Møller, Anders Pape (Journal article, 2015)
      Different populations of a host species subject to variable patterns of selection due to cuckoo parasitism provide an optimal situation for studying natural selection and coevolution in action. We compared egg appearance ...
    • Disappearance of eggs from non-parasitized nests of brood parasite hosts – the evolutionary equilibrium hypothesis revisited 

      Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Røskaft, Eivin; Moksnes, Arne; Møller, Anders Pape; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Fossøy, Frode; Liang, Wei; Lopez-Iborra, German; Moskát, Csaba; Shykoff, Jacqui A.; Soler, Manuel; Vikan, Johan Reinert; Yang, Canchao; Takasu, Fugo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The evolutionary equilibrium hypothesis was proposed to explain variation in egg rejection rates among individual hosts (intra- and interspecific) of avian brood parasites. Hosts may sometimes mistakenly reject own eggs ...
    • Environmental, geographical and time-related impacts on avian malaria infections in native and introduced populations of house sparrows (Passer domesticus), a globally invasive species 

      Ferraguti, Martina; Magallanes, Sergio; Jiménez-Peñuela, Jéssica; Martínez-de la Puente, Josué; Garcia-Longoria, Luz; Figuerola, Jordi; Muriel, Jaime; Albayrak, Tamer; Bensch, Staffan; Bonneaud, Camille; Clarke, Rohan H.; Czirják, Gábor Á.; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Espinoza, Kathya; Ewen, John G.; Ishtiaq, Farah; Flores-Saavedra, Wendy; Garamszegi, László Zsolt; Hellgren, Olof; Horakova, Dita; Huyvaert, Kathryn P.; Jensen, Henrik; Križanauskienė, Asta; Lima, Marcos R.; Lujan-Vega, Charlene; Magnussen, Eyðfinn; Martin, Lynn B.; Matson, Kevin D.; Møller, Anders Pape; Munclinger, Pavel; Palinauskas, Vaidas; Pap, Péter L.; Pérez-Tris, Javier; Renner, Swen C.; Ricklefs, Robert; Scebba, Sergio; Sehgal, Ravinder N. M.; Soler, Manuel; Szöllősi, Eszter; Valkiūnas, Gediminas; Westerdahl, Helena; Zehtindjiev, Pavel; Marzal, Alfonso (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aim The increasing spread of vector-borne diseases has resulted in severe health concerns for humans, domestic animals and wildlife, with changes in land use and the introduction of invasive species being among the main ...
    • Extra‐pair paternity and antiparasitic defence 

      Møller, Anders Pape; Søraker, Jørgen Skavdal; Soler, Juan José (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background Extra-pair paternity (EPP) in birds provides benefits in terms of more offspring, and characteristics for maintenance of this behaviour have been the subject of investigation. Microorganisms are known to be ...
    • Geographic variation in egg ejection rate by great tits across 2 continents 

      Liang, Wei; Møller, Anders Pape; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Yang, Canchao; Kovařík, Petr; Wang, Haitao; Yao, Cheng-Te; Ding, Ping; Lu, Xin; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Grim, Tomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Hosts of brood parasites may vary geographically in their ability to resist parasitism. In contrast, geographic variation in defenses, such as egg rejection, is not expected to be present or vary geographically in unsuitable ...
    • Modelling the maintenance of egg polymorphism in avian brood parasites and their hosts 

      Liang, Wei; Yang, Canchao; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Fossøy, Frode; Vikan, Johan Reinert; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Shykoff, Jacqui A.; Møller, Anders Pape; Takasu, Fugo (Journal article, 2012)
      In avian brood parasitism, egg phenotype plays a key role for both host and parasite reproduction. Several parrotbill species of the genus Paradoxornis are parasitized by the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus, and clear ...
    • Plaintive cuckoos do not select tailorbird hosts that match the phenotypes of their own eggs 

      Yang, Canchao; Huang, Qiuli; Wang, Longwu; Jiang, Aiwu; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Fossøy, Frode; Tunheim, Odd Helge; Røskaft, Eivin; Liang, Wei; Møller, Anders Pape (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Laying a mimetic egg is important for a brood parasite to succeed in defeating the defenses of a host that can recognize and reject nonmimetic foreign eggs. Several recent studies suggest that common cuckoos ( Cuculus ...
    • Reject the odd egg: Egg recognition mechanisms in parrotbills 

      Yang, Canchao; Møller, Anders Pape; Røskaft, Eivin; Moksnes, Arne; Liang, Wei; Stokke, Bård Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Studies of the behavior of animals when confronted with tasks differing in complexity can improve our understanding of animal cognition and learning mechanisms. Coevolutionary interactions between brood parasites and their ...
    • Sex roles in egg recognition and egg polymorphism in avian brood parasitism 

      Liang, Wei; Yang, Canchao; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Fossøy, Frode; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Shykoff, Jacqui A.; Møller, Anders Pape; Takasu, Fugo (Journal article, 2012)
      Avian brood parasites impose strong selection on their hosts leading to the evolution of antiparasite defenses like egg recognition and rejection. Discordance and template-based cognitive mechanisms may form the base for ...
    • 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 ...
