The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Hatching asynchrony, nestling competition, and the cost of interspecific brood parasitism (2003, background): “Also, other aspects of my research on phoebes and cowbirds alleviated the population-level detrimental impacts of these experiments, because in several separate studies, I removed early-hatching parasitic eggs and nestlings for hand-rearing in the laboratory (see Hauber et al., 2000, 2001 ).”
ANNIVERSARY ESSAY The case for developmental ecology (2003, unknown): “Young cowbirds are first seen in groups in late summer (see Hauber et al. 2000).”
Recognition systems and biological organization: The perception component of social recognition (2004, background): “(If the MHC genes do influence odor perception as well as expression, this would fit Hepper’s (1991b) criteria for recognition genes and Crozier’s (1987) criteria for “genetic kin discrimination”, which assume that other genes regulate any response that might result from recognition.”
