From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Insect" cuckoos" defy listing; they are so numerous and their habit has been reinvented so often. The classic form of induced altruism in the animal world is, of course, the bird raising the cuckoo's egg. Whatever it is about the cuckoo's gape that acts like a drug on the host's nervous system, it must have originated as a genetic mutation. Genes for failure to enslave foster-parents can not be passed down the generations of cuckoos. In the evolutionary" arms race" between cuckoos and any host species, there is a sort of built-in unfairness, resulting from unequal costs of failure. Genes for failure to resist enslavement by cuckoos can easily be passed down the generations of robins or dunnocks. What is harder to understand is the behaviour of foster-parents later in the season, towards young cuckoos that are almost fledged. In this way, cuckoos are able to subvert and co-opt the passerine's modularized survival mechanisms. 11. Perhaps cuckoos have only in recent centuries started parasitizing their present hosts, and will in a few centuries be forced to give them up and victimize other species. I think that cuckoo nestlings must be doing rather more than just" fooling" their hosts, more than just pretending to be something they aren't. Thus, the cuckoo deposits eggs in passerine nests, tricking the foster parents into incubating and feeding the cuckoo's young. A bird cuckoo deposits her egg and disappears. Cuckoo adaptations to manipulate the behaviour of foster-parents can be looked upon as extended phenotypic action at a distance by cuckoo genes. The cuckoo is usually much larger, in some cases grotesquely larger, than its" parent". These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
