Hormones, life-history, and phenotypic variation: opportunities in evolutionary avian endocrinology.

General and comparative endocrinology - 1 May 2012

Williams Tony D

Abstract excerpt

Life-histories provide a powerful, conceptual framework for integration of endocrinology, evolutionary biology and ecology. This has been a commonly articulated statement but here I show, in the context of avian reproduction, that true integration of ultimate and proximate approaches has been slow. We have only a rudimentary understanding of the physiological and hormonal basis of phenotypic variation in (a)...
