Coevolutionary theory predicts that the most common long‐term outcome of the
relationships between brood parasites and their hosts should be coevolutionary cycles …

I suggest that the cuckoo's parasitic adaptations are of two kinds:'trickery', which is how adult
cuckoos and cuckoo eggs and chicks evade host defences, and involves adaptations that …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

How can the stunning diversity of social systems and behaviours seen in nature be
explained? Drawing on social evolution theory, experimental evidence and studies …

Brood (social) parasites and their hosts exhibit a wide range of adaptations and counter-
adaptations as part of their ongoing coevolutionary arms races. Obligate avian brood …

The interactions between avian obligate interspecific brood parasites and their hosts provide
tractable systems for studying coevolutionary processes in nature. This review highlights …

The interactions between avian interspecific brood parasites and their hosts provide
tractable and informative systems for investigating coevolution. Generally, these …

Pattern-based identity signatures are commonplace in the animal kingdom, but how they are
recognized is poorly understood. Here we develop a computer vision tool for analysing …

Studying the behavioral and life history transitions from a cooperative, eusocial life history to
exploitative social parasitism allows for deciphering the conditions under which changes in …

Most social insect lineages contain socially parasitic cheater species that, rather than
produce their own workers, infiltrate the nests of closely related social species and force the …
