The major hosts of ten species of Austrahan parasitic cuckoos are identified by examining the records of parasitism. These data are used to rank host species in order of importance, to map the breeding distribution of each cuckoo and to determine its laying period. The literature pertaining to parasitic behaviour is reviewed. Potential host species are hsted and, by comparing parasitised and unparasitised potential hosts, some factors which may influence host selection are discussed.

Most birds breed in pairs but at least 3% of passerine species are cooperative breeders, whereby more than two adults help to raise the young. The general rarity of cooperative breeding has led to the assumption that cooperative behaviour has evolved from the ancestral trait of pair breeding. However, it has been suggested that pair breeding may be the derived state in some taxa. The primary aim of this research was to test this suggestion using the genus Acanthiza, which contains examples of both cooperatively and pair breeding species. Mitochondrial DNA sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic hypothesis for the tribe containing Acanthiza, the Acanthizini. The breeding behaviour of the species sequenced was determined from records in the literature; where there were no such data the frequency of another social behaviour, flocking, was used as an indicator of breeding behaviour. The mapping of breeding systems onto the phylogeny led to the conclusion that cooperative breeding is the ancestral state in the Acanthizini, with pair breeding evolving twice in the genus Acanthiza. Models explaining the occurrence of cooperative breeding in terms of broad environmental factors or life history do not appear to be applicable to the genus Acanthiza. The pair breeding Acanthiza species cluster into two clades, suggesting some influence of phylogenetic history on the occurrence of the different breeding systems. Combining the results of this study with other data suggests the tendency to breed cooperatively could be ancestral in the superfamily Meliphagoidea.
