Deficiency in egg rejection in a host species as a response to the absence of brood parasitism
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 ... -
Development and behavior of Plaintive Cuckoo (Cacomantis merulinus) nestlings and their Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) hosts
Tunheim, Odd Helge; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Wang, Longwu; Yang, Canchao; Jiang, Aiwu; Liang, Wei; Røskaft, Eivin; Fossøy, Frode (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Our knowledge of avian brood parasitism is primarily based on studies of a few selected species. Recently, researchers have targeted a wider range of host–parasite systems, which has allowed further evaluation ... -
Increase of clutch size triggers clutch destruction behaviour in common moorhens (Gallinula chloropus) during the incubation period
Wang, Longwu; Yang, Canchao; Hsu, Yu-Cheng; Antonov, Anton Tinchov; Moksnes, Arne; Røskaft, Eivin; Liang, Wei; Stokke, Bård Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Conspecific brood parasitism (CBP) is common in a variety of animal taxa, including birds. In coots (Fulica spp.), and the closely related moorhens (Gallinula spp.), such parasitism is especially common, and hosts experience ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
