Evolutionary origins and patterns of diversification in animal brood parasitism
TJL Sless, BN Danforth, JB Searle - The American Naturalist, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
Brood parasitism involves the exploitation of host parental care rather than the extraction of
resources directly from hosts. We identify defining characteristics of this strategy and …

The role of monk parakeets as nest-site facilitators in their native and invaded areas
Simple Summary Invasive species can be harmful to native species, although this fact could
be more complex when some natives eventually benefit from invaders. Faced with this …
