The limits of egg recognition: testing acceptance thresholds of American robins in response to decreasingly egg-shaped objects in the nest
Some hosts of avian brood parasites reduce or eliminate the costs of parasitism by removing foreign eggs from the nest (rejecter hosts). In turn, even acceptor hosts typically remove most non-egg-shaped objects from the nest, including broken shells, fallen leaves and other detritus. In search for t...
