Automatic identification of bird females using egg phenotype
Individual identification is crucial for studying animal ecology and evolution. In birds this is
often achieved by capturing and tagging. However, these methods are insufficient for …

The spatial organization and mating system of Horsfield's bronze-cuckoos, Chalcites basalis
NE Langmore, GJ Adcock, RM Kilner - Animal Behaviour, 2007 - Elsevier
In theory, liberation from parental care in brood parasites should facilitate polygamous
matings by both sexes. We used a combination of mtDNA and microsatellite analysis to …
