I wouldn't be surprised if next to the M. maleo holes with eggs there would be nests of another bird species which do not bury their eggs. Birds species that do not profit "small survival advantages" of burrying their eggs. I suppose there are many bird species in the area which do not bury their eggs but thrive as well as M. maleo there.

I wouldn't be surprised, either.

It's called a "niche".
