Avian Brood Parasitism
Avian Brood Parasitism: Behaviour, Ecology, Evolution and Coevolution provides a comprehensive overview of brood parasitism in birds and its importance in evolutionary ecology. It examines parasitic behaviour, host defences, egg recognition and rejection, chick behaviour, nest use, and the coevolutionary interactions between brood parasites and their hosts. The book is a valuable reference for researchers and students interested in ornithology, animal behaviour, ecology, evolution, and coevolution.
