When perfection isn't enough: host egg signatures are an effective defence against high-fidelity African cuckoo mimicry
Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society. B, Biological sciences (26-07-2023)“…Most mimicry systems involve imperfect mimicry, whereas perfect and high-fidelity mimicry are rare. When the fidelity of mimicry is high, mimics might be…”

Genetic architecture facilitates then constrains adaptation in a host-parasite coevolutionary arms race
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - PNAS (26-04-2022)“…In coevolutionary arms races, interacting species impose selection on each other, generating reciprocal adaptations and counter adaptations. This process is…”

Limits to host colonization and speciation in a radiation of parasitic finches
Published in Behavioral ecology (01-05-2021)“…Abstract Parasite lineages vary widely in species richness. In some clades, speciation is linked to the colonization of new hosts. This is the case in the…”
