Seasonal and inter-individual variation in testosterone levels in badgers Meles meles: evidence for the existence of two endocrinological phenotypes.

Journal of comparative physiology. A, Neuroethology, sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology - 1 Sept 2009

Buesching Christina Dagmar, Heistermann Michael, Macdonald David W

Abstract excerpt

Elevated testosterone levels can lower condition and increase parasites. We analysed testosterone in 84 blood samples of wild European badgers Meles meles collected at regular intervals (winter = mating season; spring = end of mating season; summer = minor mating peak; autumn = reproductive quies...
