The coevolutionary relationships between brood parasites and their hosts are often studied
by examining the egg rejection behaviour of host species using artificial eggs. However, the
traditional methods for producing artificial eggs out of plasticine, plastic, wood, or plaster-of-
Paris are laborious, imprecise, and prone to human error. As an alternative, 3D printing may
reduce human error, enable more precise manipulation of egg size and shape, and provide
a more accurate and replicable protocol for generating artificial stimuli than traditional …
