• Reed warblers discriminate cuckoos from sparrowhawks with graded alarm signals that attract mates and neighbours (2008, background): “First, gaining information about the presence of cuckoos may influence the likelihood of nest attendance and egg rejection (Davies & Brooke 1988; Moksnes & Røskaft 1989; Moksnes et al. 1993; Davies et al. 2003).”
• Are blackcaps current winners in the evolutionary struggle against the common cuckoo? (2004, background): “The model cuckoo eggs, similar in size and mass to real cuckoo eggs, were made of hard plastic (see Moksnes and Roskaft 1989 ).”
• Behaviour of female common cuckoos, Cuculus canorus, in the vicinity of host nests before and during egg laying: a radiotelemetry study (2002, background): “This strategy is adaptive, because the rejection rate of cuckoo eggs is higher when hosts have noticed the cuckoo’s presence at their nest (experimental evidence: Davies & Brooke 1988; Moksnes & Røskaft 1989; field observations: Moksnes et al. 2000).”
• The evolution of egg rejection by cuckoo hosts in Australia and Europe (2005, background): “No host eggs were removed as egg removal has not been found to influence the probability of model egg rejection in similar experiments (Brooker and Brooker, 1989a; Davies and Brooke, 1988; Moksnes and Røskaft, 1989; Sealy, 1992).”
• Flexible cuckoo chick-rejection rules in the superb fairy-wren (2009, background): “Our findings that hosts increased rejection of single chicks when adult cuckoos were present match the results of previous work on other host species showing that the incidence of egg rejection is higher when the likelihood of parasitism is greater (Davies and Brooke 1988; Moksnes and Røskaft 1989; ”
