TL;DR: This study presents a new type of mutualism in which a human and a wild, free- living animal actively coordinate their behaviour to achieve a common beneficial outcome.

Embryo movement is more frequent in avian brood parasites than birds with parental reproductive strategies.
Stephanie C. McClelland,Miranda Reynolds,Molly Cordall,Mark E. Hauber,Mark E. Hauber,Wolfgang Goymann,Luke A. McClean,Silky Hamama,Jess Lund,Jess Lund,Tanmay Dixit,Matthew I. M. Louder,Ignas Safari,Ignas Safari,Marcel Honza,Claire N. Spottiswoode,Claire N. Spottiswoode,Steven J. Portugal +17 more
TL;DR: For example, Avian brood parasites exhibit feats of strength in earl... as mentioned in this paper showed that the movement of the embryo is essential for musculoskeletal development in vertebrates, yet little is known about whether and why, species vary.

Migration distance does not predict blood parasitism in a migratory songbird
Marjorie C. Sorensen,Marjorie C. Sorensen,Tanmay Dixit,Kevin J. Kardynal,Jason Newton,Keith A. Hobson,Staffan Bensch,Susanne Jenni-Eiermann,Claire N. Spottiswoode,Claire N. Spottiswoode +9 more
TL;DR: The results do not support any of the proposed mechanisms for migration effects on host–parasite dynamics and cautiously suggest that other factors may be more important for determining individual susceptibility to disease in migratory bird species.

Visual complexity of egg patterns predicts egg rejection according to Weber's law
Tanmay Dixit,Andrei L. Apostol,Kuan‐Chi Chen,Anthony J. C. Fulford,Christopher P. Town,Claire N. Spottiswoode +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that prinias perceive complexity differences according to Weber's law of proportional processing, which may influence coevolutionary trajectories of hosts and parasites and help to understand selection pressures driving the evolution of complexity.

Why and how to apply Weber's Law to coevolution and mimicry.
Tanmay Dixit,Eleanor M. Caves,Claire N. Spottiswoode,Claire N. Spottiswoode,Nicholas P. C. Horrocks +4 more
TL;DR: Weber's Law of proportional processing has been used in the context of mimicry as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown to be relevant to whether receivers can discriminate models from mimics.
