Sex-limited polymorphism has evolved in many species including our own. Yet, we lack a detailed understanding of the underlying genetic variation and evolutionary processes at work. The brood parasitic common cuckoo (
Abstract The Oriental cuckoo Cuculus optatus is an obligate brood parasite associated with species of the genus Phylloscopus . Four distinct phenotypes eggs, matching eggshell colour patterns Arctic warbler borealis , common chiffchaff (Siberian) P. collybita tristis yellow‐browed inornatus and Pallas's leaf proregulus have been identified in Russian part its breeding area. We compared egg length, breadth volume eggs corresponding hosts from three geographical regions Russia: Urals, Siberia...
Abstract Background In the last decade, enigmatic male-like cuckoo calls have been reported several times in East Asia. These exhibited a combination of vocal traits both Oriental Cuckoo ( Cuculus optatus ) and Common canorus advertising calls, some authors therefore suggested that were produced by either × male hybrids or males having gene mutation. However, exact identity calling birds are still unknown. Methods We recorded previously unknown from three captive females, compared these with...
