...Under the lag view, the variation in rejection rates among different host species represents snapshots in evolutionary time of different stages of a continuing arms race between the cuckoo and its hosts (Davies & de L. Brooke 1989b; Moksnes et al. 1990; Soler & Møller 1990)....

...The co-existence of rejection and acceptance of cuckoo eggs within a host population has been commonly explained by the arms race model (Dawkins & Krebs 1979; Kelly 1987; Davies & de L. Brooke 1989b; Moksnes et al. 1990)....

...According to the ‘arms race’ hypothesis, the acceptance of parasitic eggs or nestlings is a maladaptive result of an evolutionary lag in the development of counter-adaptations by the host (Rothstein 1975a, 1982a; Dawkins & Krebs 1979; Davies & de L. Brooke 1988, 1989b; Moksnes et al. 1990)....

...Intermediate rates of rejection in cuckoo hosts have commonly been interpreted as resulting from an evolutionary lag in hosts’ responses during a continuing evolutionary arms race between the cuckoo and its hosts (Dawkins & Krebs 1979; Kelly 1987; Davies & de L. Brooke 1989b; Moksnes et al. 1990)....

...However, most cuckoo host species demonstrate only intermediate rates of rejection, and a considerable number of cuckoo eggs are still accepted (Davies & de L. Brooke 1988, 1989a; Moksnes et al. 1990, 1991)....
