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 …

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 …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

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 …

Coevolutionary arms races, where adaptations in one party select for counter-adaptations in
another and vice versa, are fundamental to interactions between organisms and their …

Coevolutionary arms races between brood parasites and hosts involve genetic adaptations
and counter-adaptations. However, hosts sometimes acquire defenses too rapidly to reflect …

Deals with all aspects of adaptive resemblance Full colour Covers everything from classic
examples of Batesian, Mullerian, aggressive and sexual mimicries through to human …

Mimicry is a canonical example of adaptive signal design. In principle, what constitutes
mimicry is independent of the taxonomic identity of the mimic, the ecological context in which …

Natural selection is known to produce convergent phenotypes through mimicry or ecological
adaptation. It has also been proposed that social selection—ie, selection exerted by social …
