Analysis of genetic differentiation of host races of the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus using mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA variation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 1996

Gibbs H L, Brooke M L, Davies N B

Abstract excerpt

It has long been argued that populations of the parasitic common cuckoo Cuculus canorus consist of sympatric host-specific female races, each of which lays eggs that match, to varying degrees, those of their chosen hosts. We tested this hypothesis by comparing rapidly evolving DNA markers among t...
