Abstract
A new study has demonstrated that African village weaver birds (Ploceus cucullatus) show less individuality in the appearance of their eggs when freed from the threat of raising the young of egg-mimicking diederik cuckoos (Chrsococcyx caprius). This suggests another clear example of natural selection driving evolutionary change in situ.
