Ecological Context Constrains Host‐Associated Genetic Structure in the Common Cuckoo
ABSTRACT Host specialization is often expected to promote population genetic structure by restricting gene flow among individuals associated with different hosts. However, whether behavioral host specificity consistently generates spatial genetic differentiation remains unclear. The common cuckoo ( Cuculus canorus ), a...
