Behavioral Ecology Course

Hi, I am reviewing Wikipedia articles for a class I am currently taking at Washington University. The Wikipedia entry on Reed Warblers is very short. It has a couple sentences on the genealogy of the bird, and then a brief discussion on where they are commonly found. Afterwards, they have a long list of reed warbler species. A random sampling of the various species linked me to even shorter articles. This article could go much more in depth on Warbler behavior, differences between the different species, and maybe why they are called warblers. Our textbook goes very in depth on how reed warbler moms recognized their chicks through visual and vocal cues when determining whom to feed. Both these systems are exploited by brood parasites. There is a picture in the article of a mother warbler feeding a cuckoo chick, and this is the perfect start point for a discussion on brood parasitism. I would like to have more information on how these birds are parasitized, as described by the textbook.
