Journal ArticleDOI
Trade-off between immunocompetence and growth in magpies: an experimental study.
TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that control and experimental nestlings fledged with similar body mass, size and condition, but experimental Nestlings suffered less from blood parasites and had fewer lymphocytes than control nestlings, suggesting a negative effect of blood parasites or other pathogens on nestling growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nest building, sexual selection and parental investment
TL;DR: The ‘good parent’ process is tested in a scenario where nest size is a sexually selected trait and it is predicted that individuals with more extreme displays (larger nests) might obtain benefits in terms of either parental investment or differential parental investment by the partner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative population structure and gene flow of a brood parasite, the great spotted cuckoo (clamator glandarius), and its primary host, the magpie (pica pica).
Juan Gabriel Martínez,Juan Gabriel Martínez,Juan José Soler,Manuel Soler,Anders Pape Møller,Terry Burke +5 more
TL;DR: Gene flow seems to be extensive between nearby populations, higher for magpies than cuckoos, and especially high for magpie populations within the area of distribution of the great spotted cuckoo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial chemicals in hoopoe preen secretions are produced by symbiotic bacteria
Manuel Martín-Vivaldi,Aránzazu Peña,Juan Manuel Peralta-Sánchez,Lourdes Sánchez,Samir Ananou,Magdalena Ruiz-Rodríguez,Juan José Soler +6 more
TL;DR: Support is found for the hypothesized role of bacteria in the production of such antimicrobial chemicals in hoopoe preen secretions because experimental clearance of bacteria from glands of nestlings with antibiotics resulted in secretions without most of the volatiles detected in control individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magpie host manipulation by great spotted cuckoos: evidence for an avian mafia?
TL;DR: If the egg of the parasitic great spotted cuckoo Clamator glandarius is removed from nests of its magpie Pica pica host, nests suffer significantly higher predation rates than control nests in which parasite eggs have not been removed.
