- •
Occurrence of European cuckoo was tested as surrogate for biodiversity.
- •
Taxonomic diversity (TD) and functional diversity (FRic, FEve, FDiv) were estimated.
- •
Average evolutionary distinctiveness (ED) was estimated in each bird community.
- •
Cuckoo occurrence predicts TD, FRic, and FEve but not ED of bird communities.
- •
The cuckoo offers a cost-effective conservation tool, useful for citizen science.
