Advances in the Study of Coevolution Between Avian Brood Parasites and Their Hosts (2014, background): “Others have evolved decreased intraclutch variation in egg appearance (reviewed by Langmore & Spottiswoode 2012) and increased between-clutch variation (Stokke et al. 2002, Honza et al. 2004, Spottiswoode & Stevens 2011).”
Environmental conditions influence egg color of reed warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus and their parasite, the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus (2006, background): “…have revealed that it is not necessarily so that rejecter individuals have a lower intraclutch variation than acceptors (e.g., Karcza et al. 2003; Avilés et al. 2004; Honza et al. 2004; Stokke et al. 2004; Communicated by M. Soler J. M. Avilés (*) Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas (C.S.I.”
Ultraviolet and green parts of the colour spectrum affect egg rejection in the song thrush (Turdus philomelos) (2007, background): “Not only appearance, but also the contrast between the host and parasitic eggs has an effect on egg recognition (Procházka & Honza, 2003; Honza et al., 2004).”
