Getting rid of the cuckoo Cuculus canorus egg: why do hosts delay rejection?

Egg discrimination is well documented in many hosts of avian brood parasites, but the proximate mechanisms of egg recognition and rejection decisions are poorly understood. Relevant in this respect is the observation that rejectors of parasite eggs often delay their response. This delay has implications for understanding mechanisms important for egg recognition and is the main focus of the pres...

LETTERS TO NATURE Learning to recognize nestlings is maladaptive for cuckoo Cuculus canorus hosts

Department of Zoology, Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel occurrence, and a payoff is listed at the end of each path. A rejection strategy is adaptive if !Js overall payoff is greater than that of an acceptance strategy. In either case (egg or nestling recognition), if an acceptor is parasitized by a common cuckoo (a probability of P), its reproduc...

Parentage and host preference in the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus

Microsatellite DNA markers were used to investigate parentage relationships in a population of common cuckoo Cuculus canorus. Thirty adults and 55 nestlings were genotyped at six loci from blood samples collected over a four-year period. To test whether each cuckoo female specialises in parasitising one single host species (Host Preference Hypothesis), the maternal relationships were used to re...

Common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) affect the bacterial diversity of the eggshells of their great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) hosts

The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is an avian brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of other bird species, where these hosts incubate the parasitic eggs, feed and rear the nestlings. The appearance of a cuckoo egg in a host nest may change the bacterial community in the nest. This may have consequences on the hatchability of host eggs, even when hosts reject the parasitic egg, typicall...

Breeding of the Brood Parasitic Common Cuckoo (cuculus Canorus) in Reed Habitats in Nw Vojvodina, Serbia

We monitored the breeding success of the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) in four reed habitats (e. g. clay pits, marsh and fishponds, small canals and large canals) in northwestern Vojvodina (Serbia) between 2009 and 2011 (three breeding seasons). A total of 596 Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) nests were found and monitored. The overall parasitism rate for the study area was 0.12...
