TL;DR: It is found that the presence of spotting significantly decreased the probability of rejection while increments in brightness significantly increased rejection frequencies, and the cognitive rules underlying mockingbird rejection behavior can be explained by a decision-making model which predicts changes in the levels of rejection in direct relation to the number of relevant attributes shared between host and parasite eggs.

TL;DR: Genetic differentiation among shiny cowbird females that use different hosts indicates that in this brood parasite, host use is not random at an individual level, and results show that shinyCowbird eggs laid in nests of two different hosts vary in shape and background colour, but not in spotting pattern.

TL;DR: More than 100 academic papers with 219 authors have been published in international, regional, and local journals, accumulating more than 2150 citations as discussed by the authors , mainly for Copepoda, Cladocera and Rotifera.

TL;DR: In this article , a two-year field experiment on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee (southwest Netherlands), conducted in six drainage ditches varying in salinity, where they monitored four permanent plots per ditch and varied the presence of both fish and macrophytes.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied behavioural traits related to personality in the globally endangered Yellow Cardinal Gubernatrix cristata and analyzed whether these traits were associated with the outcome of a reintroduction program in Argentina.
