Are blackcaps current winners in the evolutionary struggle against the common cuckoo? (2004, background): “Furthermore, intraspecific brood parasitism has not been documented in blackcaps anywhere (Yom-Tov 2001).”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “IBP has been observed in most major avian orders, and appears especially prevalent in ducks, grebes, and galliforms, with a more limited frequency in passerines (Yom-Tov, 2001; Arnold & Owens, 2002).”
Polistes wasps and their social parasites: an overview (2006, background): “Conspecific brood parasitism in birds seems to be far more widespread than previously believed (Yom-Tov 2001).”
Alternative reproductive tactics and life history phenotypes (2010, background): “…Field 1994) or by dumping eggs in a host female’s nest (or mouth) that will be cared for by the host (i.e. intraspecific brood parasitism in insects: Brockmann 1993, Zink 2003, Tallamy 2005; fish: Ribbink 1977, Yanagisawa 1985, Kellog et al. 1998; birds: Yom-Tov 1980, 2001, Petrie and Møller 1991).”
Conspecific Brood Parasitism in Birds: A Life-History Perspective (2008, background): “For example, Yom-Tov & Geffen (2006) concluded that IBP in altricial birds evolved directly from a nonparasitic ancestor, rather than indirectly through some other form of parasitism.”
