Are cuckoos maximizing egg mimicry by selecting host individuals with better matching egg phenotypes?
<h4>Background</h4>Avian brood parasites and their hosts are involved in complex offence-defense coevolutionary arms races. The most common pair of reciprocal adaptations in these systems is egg discrimination by hosts and egg mimicry by parasites. As mimicry improves, more advanced host...
