This book is the first to present a comprehensive overview of
parasitic birds and their hosts. Although the phenomenon has
attracted the interest of naturalists and evolutionists since
Darwin, only recently have researchers applied modern evolutionary
theory and experimental methods to study the various adaptations
related to brood parasitism. The work in this field is accelerating
rapidly, and this volume collects work from the individuals and
research groups around the world who have been responsible for
nearly every major study in the last ten years. The papers present
valuable summaries along with substantial new research, and the
volume concludes with a review of important unsolved questions. The
book is an invaluable resource on this fascinating topic, covering
the remarkable sequences of adaptations and counter-adaptations,
along with the perhaps even more remarkable cases where adaptations
seem to be lacking.
