https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4302-1601-8e study of the evolution of brood parasitism and its phylogenetic history is likely to further advance rapidly in the near future as genomic approaches become feasible in non-model species and phylogenetic analyses techniques are developed at an equally breath-taking rate.

BOGUS

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4302-1601-8discussed. Since obligate brood parasitism is shown to be a very effective way of increasing the individual’s fecundity, the reasons for only about 1% of bird species evolving this strategy are discussed.

There is no evidence for lifelong professional brood parasites; non-nesting females apparently adopt parasitism to make the best of a bad job, although we lack a clear understanding of the specific constraints that prevent these females from nesting or the costs that make restraint a better
