By searching for nests of all possible host species of the Plaintive Cuckoo ... -
How does human disturbance affect brood parasitism and nest predation in hosts inhabiting a highly fragmented landscape?

Interaction between two Asian cuckoos and their hosts in Bangladesh

No evidence of host-specific egg mimicry in Asian koels
Nahid, Mominul Islam; Fossøy, Frode; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Abernathy, Virginia; Begum, Sajeda; Langmore, Naomi E.; Røskaft, Eivin; Ranke, Peter Sjolte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Avian brood parasitism is costly for the host, in many cases leading to the evolution of defenses like discrimination of parasitic eggs. The parasite, in turn, may evolve mimetic eggs as a counter-adaptation to host egg ... -
