Equal rights for chick brood parasites

Original language description

Evolutionary interactions between brood parasites (e.g., cuckoos) and their hosts (e.g., small songbirds) became an important model for the study of coevolution, recognition and other subjects central to evolutionary biology. I argue that both primary literature and textbooks provide an unequal picture of brood parasite?host relationships: they make an impression that hosts can defend against parasite only at the egg stage but not at the nestling stage. However, the general impression that chick discrimination is either very rare or even non-existent does not follow from available data ? it is studies of chick-related host adaptations which are rare. Using quantitative data on publication and citation rates of egg vs. chick studies I show that there isa strong inequality in favour of egg studies and against chick studies in respect to both research effort (number of studies, number of model host species, studies sample sizes) and citation rates. This bias is apparent in both observati

Rovná práva parazitickým mláďatům

Czech description

Většina studií hnízdního parazitismu se věnovala jen parazitickým vejcím, mláďata byla přehlížena. Článek analyzuje tento publikační "bias" a navrhuje, kudy by se měl výzkum hnízdního parazitismu ubírat v budoucnosti
