- See original studies for detailed information on the size, colour and maculation of experimental eggs
-
aSample sizes differ from Table 3 because desertion was not a specific response to parasitism in this treatment (Table 3, Results); therefore we excluded the deserted nests
-
bSee Methods
-
cAuthor used natural eggs of the chaffinch, redwing, great tit and wryneck; experimental eggs introduced around hatching time
-
dAuthor used natural eggs of the brambling, meadow pipit and redpoll; acceptance period was set to 24 h, then the experimental egg was removed
