Article
Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Elena Macías-Sanchez, Auteur ; David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Liesbeth de Neve, AuteurParent decisions about food allocation are usually based on simple time-saving rules that optimize their own fitness; however, they can sometimes vary depending on the prevailing ecological conditions both outside and inside the nest. Parent–off[...]
Article
Diana Bolopo, Auteur ; Daniela Canestrari, Auteur ; Juan Gabriel Martínez, Auteur ; María Roldan, Auteur ; Elena Macías-Sanchez, Auteur ; Marta Vila, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Vittorio Baglione, AuteurPolygamous mating is expected to occur in obligate avian brood parasites because the lack of parental care reduces the need for a stable reproductive bond. Unlike nesting species, an absence of the constraints resulting from raising offspring mi[...]
Article
Gianluca Roncalli, Auteur ; Juan Diego Ibáñez-Álamo, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurGiven the high costs of brood parasitism, avian hosts have adopted different defences to counteract parasites by ejecting the foreign egg or by deserting the parasitized nest. These responses depend mainly on the relative size of the host compar[...]
Article
Gianluca Roncalli, Auteur ; Juan Diego Ibáñez-Álamo, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurCapsule: The Western Bonelli’s Warbler Phylloscopus bonelli has a nest success of only 25% in the core of its range in western Europe.Aims: To investigate the breeding biology of Western Bonelli’s Warbler P. bonelli, focusing on possible altitud[...]
Article
Liesbeth de Neve, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, Auteur ; Magdalena Ruiz-Rodríguez, Auteur ; David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurParasite pressure and nutrition are two of the most important factors affecting the trade-off between nestling growth and immune development. During development, energy and nutrients are often limited, and nestlings should only dedicate differen[...]

Magdalena Ruiz-Rodríguez, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, Auteur ; Francoise S. Lucas, Auteur ; Philipp Heeb, Auteur ; Maria Jose Palacios, Auteur ; David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Liesbeth de Neve, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Juan G. Martinez, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurDiversity of the gut bacterial community is of prime importance for optimal food digestion and, therefore, for nutritional condition of avian nestlings. Consequently, bacterial community should be considered as a predictor of the future survival[...]
Article
Manuel Soler, AuteurThe hosts of brood parasites have evolved egg-discrimination ability as a defence that allows them to reject parasitic eggs laid in their nests. Twenty-five years ago, Stephen Rothstein emphasised that rejection rates differed markedly between p[...]
Article
Manuel Soler, AuteurTraditionally it was thought that the arms race between brood parasites and their hosts was confined to the egg stage of the breeding cycle because many host species are able to reject mimetic parasitic eggs but they are unable to reject strongl[...]
Article
Juan Diego Ibanez-Alamo, Auteur ; Laura Arco, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe existence of begging costs has recently been the focus of evolutionary studies on parent-offspring conflict. Indirect findings seem to support the existence of a nest predation cost of begging. However, empirical direct evidence of nestling [...]
Article
Juan D. Ibáñez-Álamo, Auteur ; Olivia Sanllorente, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe effects of visits to nests by researchers interested in quantifying avian nesting success have received considerable attention, as researchers have long been concerned about the possible negative effects of their own activities on the result[...]
Article
Manuel Martin-Vivaldi, Auteur ; Juan Jose Soler, Auteur ; Anders Pape Moller, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe intensity of selection exerted by brood parasites on their hosts depends on the proportion of nests that are parasitized and the fitness costs of parasitism. Nest detection by brood parasites influences the probability of parasitism, and we [...]
Article
Juan Diego Ibanez-Alamo, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe effect of investigator perturbance has been traditionally considered detrimental for avian nesting success in terms of enhanced nest predation. This conclusion was however based on a taxonomically biased group of species and, thus, the study[...]
Article
Petr Procházka, Auteur ; Bard G. Stokke, Auteur ; Henrik Jensen, Auteur ; Drahomira Fainova, Auteur ; Erica Bellinvia, Auteur ; Frode Fossoy, Auteur ; Johan R. Vikan, Auteur ; Josef Bryja, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurMigratory birds generally have higher dispersal propensity than resident species and are thus expected to show less genetic differentiation. On the other hand, specific migration patterns may promote genetic structure, such as in situations wher[...]
Article
David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Liesbeth de Neve, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Juan Gabriel Martinez, Auteur ; Juan Jose Soler, AuteurBrood parasitic nestlings usually exhibit an exaggerated begging behaviour, which is mainly attributed to reduced inclusive fitness costs since they typically share the nest with unrelated individuals. However, energetic costs also constrain beg[...]
Article
Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Francisco Ruiz-Raya, Auteur ; Gianluca Roncalli, Auteur ; Juan Diego Ibanez-Alamo, AuteurTwo main mechanisms of egg rejection, the main defence of hosts against brood parasites, have been described: ejection and desertion. Desertion of the parasitized nest is much more costly and is usually exhibited by small-sized host species unab[...]
Article
Juan Diego Ibanez-Alamo, Auteur ; Francisco Ruiz-Raya, Auteur ; Gianluca Roncalli, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe removal of nestling feces by adults is a common parental behavior in birds. However, this behavior is still poorly understood despite being an important component of parental care, especially in altricial bird species. The threat of nest pre[...]
Article
Elena Macías-Sanchez, Auteur ; Juan G. Martinez, Auteur ; Jesus M. Aviles, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe appearance of plumage in brood parasites represents an evolutionary conflict between sexual selection that favours colourful plumages, and parasite-host coevolution that favours crypsis. In this study we quantified the degree of sexual dimor[...]
Article
Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Juan Jose Soler, AuteurBrood parasites rely entirely on the parental care of host species to raise the parasitic nestlings until independence. The reproductive success of avian brood parasites depends on finding host nests at a suitable stage (i.e. during egg laying) [...]
Article
María Roldan, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Rafael Marquez, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, AuteurThe begging behaviour of nestlings is part of a communication system by which nestlings solicit food from their parents. In the case of brood parasitic species, nestlings in the nests of host species could achieve appropriate begging calls throu[...]
