Experimental evidence for an antipredatory function of egg rejection behaviour in a common host of the brood-parasitic shiny cowbird
Abstract: The rejection of foreign eggs is the most effective adaptation against brood parasitism in birds. Many hosts, however, show suboptimal responses towards parasitic eggs, which could reflect a compromise between the benefits and costs of egg rejection. Some large-sized hosts of the shiny cow...
