A Monte Carlo model for estimating the productivity of a generalist brood parasite across multiple host species

Questions: How can the productivity of a generalist brood parasite be estimated? Does an invasive brood parasite have greater productivity (defined as fledglings/egg and fledglings/area) in a recently invaded habitat than in a habitat similar to its original range? Features of model: We developed a simulation model that uses Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods to integrate brood parasite productivity across multiple host species over the entire …
