- 1Cuckoo Genetics Show Host Habits Don't Split Wandering Species▼Cuckoo Genes Reveal Host Habits Alone Cannot Divide a Wandering Species
New research on cuckoos indicates that differences in host preferences alone are not enough to divide the wide-ranging species into separate ones. Genetic analysis suggests the birds' wandering behaviour keeps populations mixing, preventing host-based splits from hardening into distinct species, according to coverage by Bioengineer.
