Testing for correlations between behaviours in a cuckoo host: why do host defences not covary?

Original language description

Fitness costs associated with brood parasitism have led host species to evolve several lines of defence. The first two lines of defence, aggression against adult parasites and egg rejection, are present at varying levels in almost all hosts. However, itremains unclear how these two fundamental defences covary at host individual level, with previous studies suggesting both positive and negative correlations. A theoretically critical yet empirically untested scenario is that variation in host antiparasite behaviour may relate to individual variation in host behavioural types or personalities. Here we examined whether host aggression against adult brood parasites and egg rejection behaviour were correlated with host behaviours displayed outside the context of brood parasitism. We selected the great reed warbler, Acrocephalus arundinaceus, a favourite cuckoo, Cuculus canorus, host as a suitable model. Only females reject foreign eggs and show high individual repeatability of both aggressi
