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 …

At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …

Avian parents and social insect colonies are victimized by interspecific brood parasites—
cheats that procure costly care for their dependent offspring by leaving them in another …

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 …

Theories of how humans came to be so ecologically dominant increasingly centre on the
adaptive abilities of human culture and its capacity for cumulative change and high-fidelity …
