Does supernormal stimulus influence parental behaviour of the cuckoo's host?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The supernormal stimulus hypothesis (SSH) states that a cuckoo chick should obtain more parental care than host young by means of exaggerated sensory signals. We tested the SSH by comparing parental care by-reed warblers at parasitized and non-parasitized nests. A comparison of feeding rates to parasite and host chicks of the same size showed that parasitized nests received more food than non-parasitized ones with one host chick. There was an interesting relationship between average prey length and themass of a cuckoo chick: prey length first increased with chick mass, but decreased after the cuckoo chick outgrew the average-sized host brood (three to four young at fledging). This might be expected if fosterers reduced the selectivity of their foraging behaviour when trying to satisfy the supernormal food demands of the parasitic chick. This suggestion is supported by the finding that the relationship between nestling mass and proportion of less economical small prey is inverse to the
