Brood parasitic birds lay eggs amongst the clutches of other species, which then assume all costs of parental care on their behalf. This thesis addresses several puzzles of avian brood parasitism, using field studies and theoretical modelling of the generalist parasite, the shiny cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis) and select hosts in Argentina. Key findings and conclusions were: • High parasitism intensity in a host population can result in a cost to hosts of removing parasite eggs from their clutches, and so help to maintain host’s acceptance of parasite eggs in evolutionary equilibrium.

The interaction between hosts and parasites in bird populations has been studied extensively. I use game theoretic methods to model this interaction. This has been done previously but has not been studied taking into account the detailed sequential nature of this game. I introduce models allowing the host and parasite to make a number of decisions which will depend on a number of natural factors. A sequence of events follows, which is broken down into two key stages; firstly the interaction between the host and the parasite adult, and secondly that between the host and the parasite chick. The

Identifying forces that affect population dynamics can allow us to better understand the distribution and abundance of animals.

Mason bees (members of the genus Osmia; Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) are important pollinators for agricultural systems and are vulnerable to exploitation by brood parasites, such as kleptoparasitic wasps. High levels of nesting density have the potential to increase rates of brood parasitism by attracting larger numbers of parasites to areas with aggregations of nests. I conducted a fie

Intraspecific nest parasitism was studied in a group of colonial Red-breasted Mergansers (Mergus serrator) nesting on the Tern Islands of Kouchibouguac National Park in New Brunswick in 1992. Nest parasitism is very common in this colony, and may influence the high rate of nest abandonment observed. Emphasis was placed on determining rates of successful parasitism (i.e. eggs added during the laying period of the hen at that nest), which are evolutionarily significant, and can easily go undetected.

Brood parasites avoid costs associated with raising young by adding eggs to another individual’s clutch and providing no parental care. When conspecific brood parasitism occurs in species with high parental investment, we expect hosts to suffer costs for raising an enlarged brood.

Obligate brood parasites rely solely on other species, the hosts, to incubate their eggs and raise their offspring, which often reduces the host’s reproductive output. This reproductive cost has led to the evolution of anti-parasite adaptations among hosts, which in turn, has led to better trickery by parasites, a process termed an evolutionary arms race. The objective of this thesis was to investigate host-parasite coevolutionary arms races to address questions of host-use diversity.

Abstract Animals live in a heterogeneous world where threats and abundance and quality of resources vary across space and time. Heterogeneity induces uncertainty in decisions that animals must make, e.g., where to breed. Adaptive decisions may be facilitated by personally collecting information on the quality of the environment and by observing the behaviour and success of other individuals. Such social information use is common in nature.

Almost one hundred bird species in the world are known to be obligate interspecific brood parasites. These lay their eggs in the nests of other species, their hosts, which take care of a usually larger parasitic chick. Brood parasitism constitutes one of the best examples of coevolution in the animal kingdom. This strategy is usually costly to the host, and has led to the evolution of a suite of adaptations in hosts, in order to defend themselves against parasitism, and in parasites, in order to effectively parasitize their hosts.

The proximate causes triggering nest abandonment are unclear for most species, including the Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia), which abandons nests parasitized by cowbirds (via burial or desertion). Cowbird parasitism and rejection of parasitism are costly to some hosts; therefore cues affecting their responses have important evolutionary implications. Manipulative experiments showed that experimentally adding a cowbird egg elicited similar rejection frequencies (2008: 31.8%; 2009: 26.1%) as naturally laid eggs (2008: 27.1%; 2009: 20.0%). In 2008, interaction with an egg-removing model incr
