ParasitismBroader topic: The host raises offspring that are not its own, without a parasite living in its body.
Parental careCompared with: The host supplies parental care to offspring that are not its own.
KleptoparasitismCompared with: Both involve exploiting another animal, but brood parasitism targets reproduction rather than food.
ParasiteBroader topic: It extends parasitism beyond feeding on host tissues to exploiting parental investment.
OrnithologyRelated: Cuckoos and other birds make this a well-studied example of behavioral coevolution.
CuckooNarrower topic: Some cuckoos lay eggs in other birds’ nests and leave host parents to raise their chicks.
Brood careCompared with: It exploits another animal’s care instead of providing care to its own brood.
Parental care in fishCompared with: Parasitic catfish can exploit the care behavior of mouthbrooding cichlids.
Common cuckooNarrower topic: The common cuckoo is a classic example of this reproductive strategy.
Common eiderRelated: Common eiders sometimes lay eggs in other females' nests, creating shared broods.
Old World warblerRelated: Some warblers, including reed warblers, raise young cuckoos laid in their nests.
New World quailCompared with: Unlike brood parasites, New World quail generally incubate their own eggs and care for their young.
MegapodeCompared with: Megapodes bury and incubate their own eggs instead of relying on host parents.
Cuckoo beeNarrower topic: Cuckoo bees are brood parasites that place their eggs in other bees’ nests.
Gouldian finchCompared with: Unlike brood parasites, Gouldian finches incubate their own eggs and rear their own chicks.
HoneyguideRelated: Honeyguides lay eggs in other birds’ nests, a striking part of their life history.
KoelRelated: Many koels lay eggs in other birds’ nests rather than raising their own young.
Red-winged blackbirdRelated: Brown-headed cowbirds commonly lay eggs in red-winged blackbird nests.
ClamatorNarrower topic: Clamator species reproduce by placing eggs in the nests of other birds.
CouaCompared with: Unlike many familiar cuckoos, couas build nests and rear their own offspring.
CoucalCompared with: Many cuckoos parasitize other birds, whereas coucals usually build nests and raise their own young.
IcteridRelated: Cowbirds use this strategy instead of building nests and raising their own young.
MergusRelated: Merganser females may lay eggs in other birds’ nests.
