Signal detection and optimal acceptance thresholds in avian brood parasite–host systems: implications for egg rejection
Signal detection theory addresses the challenge of successfully identifying informative
signals in noisy information contexts, allowing optimal behavioural decisions in diverse …

Cognitive decision rules for egg rejection
Egg rejection is the best studied behavioral adaptation by hosts to avian brood parasitism.

The repeatability of avian egg ejection behaviors across different temporal scales, breeding stages, female ages and experiences
An evolutionarily fundamental, yet rarely examined, aspect of host–parasite arms races is
the repeatability of individual host responses to parasitism. We examined the repeatability of …

How to spot a stranger's egg? A mimicry‐specific discordancy effect in the recognition of parasitic eggs
Egg discrimination by hosts is an antiparasitic defence to reject foreign eggs from the nest.
Even when mimetic, the presence of brood parasitic egg (s) typically alters the overall …

Breeding stages affect egg recognition in azure-winged magpies (Cyanopica cyanus)
J Liu, F Zhou, H Yan, W Liang - Animal Cognition, 2024 - Springer
Egg rejection often involves a cognitive process of recognizing foreign eggs, which can vary
