Animal Behavior: The Raised-by-Wolves Predicament

Biology

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Social learning poses a particular problem for brood parasites, which are raised by adults of another species. Brood-parasitic cowbirds use a password, a simple signal that aids the young in identifying appropriate models for learning of their species' behaviors.
