26、 over their nests.But other birds are wishing up,evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites,meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species.To avoid detection,the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of

32、cks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good,and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection,or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the
