Typically, hosts will aggressively attack brood parasites that approach or visit their nests, which can prevent the parasites from laying eggs or may even lead to the death of the parasites. Few previous studies have specifically reported such fatal cases involving brood parasites and have attributed the cause of death to either drowning or hypothermia after falling into the water following an attack from hosts. In this study, we recorded the process of multiple host individuals of the Oriental reed warbler (<jats:italic>Acrocephalus orientalis<\/jats:italic>) mobbing and attacking a female common cuckoo (<jats:italic>Cuculus canorus<\/jats:italic>) in the field. We discovered that the immediate cause of the cuckoo's death was the fatal physical damage resulting from the aggressive defense from the hosts, suggesting that frantic pecking and scratching by the hosts is the most proximate cause of mortality among egg\u2010laying female cuckoos. This finding enhances our essential understanding of the effectiveness of host attacks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.9649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]],"date-time":"2022-12-22T05:28:17Z","timestamp":1671686897000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Fatal mobbing and attack of the common cuckoo by its warbler hosts"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4141-8839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huahua","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences Guizhou Normal University  Guiyang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5347-3819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haixia","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences Guizhou Normal University  Guiyang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0945-7202","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanlin","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for Ecology of Tropical Islands, Key Laboratory of Tropical Animal and Plant Ecology of Hainan Province, College of Life Sciences Hainan Normal University  Haikou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6583-3941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gangbin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences Guizhou Normal University  Guiyang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7020-4397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Longwu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences Guizhou Normal University  Guiyang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0004-9707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for Ecology of Tropical Islands, Key Laboratory of Tropical Animal and Plant Ecology of Hainan Province, College of Life Sciences Hainan Normal University  Haikou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avrs.2022.100061"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","volume-title":"Cuckoos, cowbirds and other cheats","author":"Davies N.
