The reach of gene–culture coevolution in animals
Culture (behaviour based on socially transmitted information) is present in diverse animal
species, yet how it interacts with genetic evolution remains largely unexplored. Here, we …

The wages of violence: mobbing by mockingbirds as a frontline defence against brood-parasitic cowbirds
For many hosts of brood-parasitic birds, their frontline of defence is to mob adult parasites
