• The evolution of nestling discrimination by hosts of parasitic birds: why is rejection so rare? (2006, unknown): “Egg recognition in some bird species may be learned by an imprinting-like process (Lotem et al., 1992, 1995; see also Victoria, 1972; Rothstein, 1974).”
• Ultraviolet and green parts of the colour spectrum affect egg rejection in the song thrush (Turdus philomelos) (2007, background): “Many studies have demonstrated that rejecter species recognize a parasitic egg by true recognition as documented by experiments on host species of various brood parasites that rejected alien eggs ( Victoria, 1972; Rothstein, 1975, 1977; Moksnes, 1992).”
