...Thus, an efficient frontline defence could obviate the evolution of later lines of defence and provide more overall benefits because, by avoiding parasitism, hosts can maintain their reproductive output intact (Britton et al., 2007; Feeney et al., 2012)....

...Many host species exhibit defences prior to the deposition of the parasitic egg (the ‘frontline’ of the arms race; Feeney et al., 2012)....
[...]
...The great majority of studies on brood parasitism deal with egg recognition because other defences have been neglected until recently (see Grim, 2006; Soler, 2009; Feeney et al., 2012)....

...This frontline of the arms race is defined as the adaptations and counteradaptations that operate before insertion of the parasite egg in the host nest (Welbergen & Davies 2009, Feeney et al. 2012)....

...…and possibly assess nest suitability (Massoni & Reboreda 1999, Gloag et al. 2013), locate potential host nests by “flushing” the host from the nest, exhibit male-female cooperation, or simply push the defending hosts off their nest to allow parasitism (reviewed by Davies 2000, Feeney et al. 2012)....

...The reproductive cost of hosting a parasite selects for defensive host adaptations, which in turn select for counteradaptations in the parasite (Davies 2000; Kilner & Langmore 2011), binding host and parasite in a coevolutionary arms race (Dawkins & Krebs 1979)....

...These relationships often exhibit distinct and tractable adaptations and counteradaptations, facilitating their use as experimental systems for studying coevolutionary processes (Rothstein 1990; Brandt et al. 2005; Cervo 2006)....
