Family matters: kin selection and the evolution of conspecific brood parasitism.
A lmost a half century ago, waterfowl biologists noticed a strange phenomenon common in many duck populations: nests containing eggs laid by multiple females but tended by a single female or, for some nests, not tended at all (1–3). At the time, interest focused on the management implications and population consequences of the so-called ‘‘dump nests,’’ which were often less successful than typi...

متن کاملConspecific brood parasitism and population dynamics.
Conspecific brood parasitism (CBP), defined as parasitic laying of eggs in a conspecific nest without providing parental care, occurs in insects, fishes, amphibians, and many birds. Numerous factors have been proposed to influence the evolution of CBP, including nest site limitation; effects of brood size, laying order, or parasitic status on offspring survival; randomness of parasitic egg dist...
متن کاملThe relative role of relatives in conspecific brood parasitism.
Conspecific brood parasites lay their eggs in the nests of other females in the same population, leading to a fascinating array of possible ‘games’ among parasites and their hosts (Davies 2000; Lyon & Eadie 2008). Almost 30 years ago, Andersson & Eriksson (1982) first suggested that perhaps this form of parasitism was not what it seemed--indeed, perhaps it was not parasitism at all!Andersson & ...
متن کاملA framework for modelling and analysing conspecific brood parasitism.
Recently several papers that model parasitic egg-laying by birds in the nests of others of their own species have been published. Whilst these papers are concerned with answering different questions, they approach the problem in a similar way and have a lot of common features. In this paper a framework is developed which unifies these models, in the sense that they all become special cases of a...
