Aggressive hosts are undeterred by a cuckoo's hawk mimicry, but probably make good foster parents
Parasites face a trade-off if the highest quality hosts are also most resistant to exploitation. For brood parasites, well-defended host nests may be both harder to parasitize and harder to predate, leading to better survival of parasitic chicks. This trade-off could be accentuated if brood-parasiti...
