Testes size, testosterone production and reproductive behaviour in a natural mammalian mating system.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

1. Testosterone (T) is a key mediator in the expression of numerous morphological and behavioural traits in mammals, but the factors underlying individual variation in circulating T levels are poorly understood. 2. The intimate structural integration of sperm and T production within the testes, alongside the dependency of sperm production on high levels of T, suggests that T requirements for spermatogenesis could...
