Model eggs fail to detect egg recognition in host populations after brood parasitism is relaxed

Abstract Background Obligate brood parasites exert strong selective pressure on target hosts. In response, hosts typically evolve anti-parasitism strategies, of which egg recognition is one of the most efficient. Generally, host egg-recognition capacity is determined using model eggs.
