Abstract:

We studied the laying behaviour of shiny cowbirds, Molothrus bonariensis, parasitizing brown-and-yellow marshbirds, Pseudoleistes virescens. Shiny cowbirds lay two egg morphs, spotted and white immaculate. Brown-and-yellow marshbirds eject the white egg morph but accept the spotted morph. The incidence of parasitism in this host was 66.5%, and half of the paratisized nests had more than one shiny cowbird egg. There was a positive relationship between the number of parasitic events and the availability of nests in the laying stage, but parasitic events reached a plateau when the availability of nests was high. The distribution of parasitic eggs per nest was more clumped than expected by chance. Shiny cowbird females synchronized parasitism with host laying in 80% of the cases. They seldom parasitized nests before the host started laying or after the nest had been deserted or predated. The majority of multiply parasitized nests were parasitized by more than one female. Females that lay white eggs did not avoid parasitizing brown-and-yellow marshbird nests. Egg pecking by cowbird females resulted, on average, in one egg lost per parasitic event and the probability of being broken was greater for host eggs when host and parasitic eggs where both in the nest.
