Common cuckoo female host selection is not determined by host quality but can affect cuckoo nestling growth when parasitising Common redstarts

T. Abaurrea, A. Moreras, J. Tolvanen, R. L. Thomson, R. Thorogood

This study investigates whether Common cuckoo females select high-quality hosts for egg-laying and finds that host selection does not target host quality but may influence cuckoo nestling growth.

Population differences in the length and early-life dynamics of telomeres among European pied flycatchers

T. Karkkainen, T. Laaksonen, M. Burgess, A. Cantarero, J. Martinez-Padilla, J. Potti, J. Moreno, R. L. Thomson, V. Tilgar, A. STIER

This study examines telomere length and early-life dynamics across six European pied flycatcher populations, finding population-specific patterns not consistently linked to migration distance or latitude.
