Are thyroid hormones mediators of incubation temperature-induced phenotypes in birds?

Biology letters - 1 Jan 2014

DuRant S E, Carter A W, Denver R J, Hepp G R, Hopkins W A

Abstract excerpt

Incubation temperature influences a suite of traits in avian offspring. However, the mechanisms underlying expression of these phenotypes are unknown. Given the importance of thyroid hormones in orchestrating developmental processes, we hypothesized that they may act as an upstream mechanism mediating the effects of temperature on hatchling phenotypic traits such as growth and thermoregulation. We found that...
