Avian mothers create different phenotypes by hormone deposition in their eggs.

Biology letters - 22 Mar 2006

Eising Corine M, Müller Wendt, Groothuis Ton G G

Abstract excerpt

An increasing number of studies in a variety of taxa demonstrate the role of maternal sex steroids on offspring development. In avian species, mothers deposit substantial amounts of androgens in their eggs, and experimental evidence indicates that these maternal androgens influence the chick's early development. Despite the well-known organizing role of sex steroids on brain and behaviour, studies on avian...
