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

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.

Physiological stress responses to non-mimetic model brood parasite eggs: leukocyte profiles and heat-shock protein Hsp70 levels

This study examines physiological stress responses in Eurasian blackbirds to non-mimetic brood parasite eggs, finding changes in leukocyte profiles and Hsp70 levels but no corticosterone trade-offs.
