- Abstract:
The article reports on a study by Bruce Lyon and Daizaburo Shizuka which found the use of hatching order among American coots in identifying own offspring from impostor chicks. It features the reactions by Stephen Rothstein of the University of California and evolutionary biologist Rebecca Kilner over the discovery. It also notes the implications of the research on the continuing studies on brood parasitism, chick recognition, egg recognition and the evolutionary aspect of learning.
