Intraspecific brood parasitism occurs commonly in a large number of bird species. Recent work shows that females parasitize the parental care of conspecifics either as a 'best-of-a-bad-job' strategy or as part of a superior reproductive strategy. A number of parasite and host behaviours, which either facilitate or prevent intraspecific brood parasitism, are similar to those occurring among interspecific brood parasites and their hosts.
种内巢寄生在大量鸟类物种中普遍存在。最近的研究表明,雌性鸟类将同种亲鸟的育雏行为作为一种“权宜之计”或作为一种更优越的繁殖策略来进行寄生。一些促进或阻止种内巢寄生的寄生虫和宿主行为,与种间巢寄生及其宿主之间发生的行为相似。
