Effects of experimentally manipulated yolk thyroid hormone levels on offspring development in a wild bird species.

Hormones and behavior - 1 May 2016

Ruuskanen Suvi, Darras Veerle M, Visser Marcel E, Groothuis Ton G G

Abstract excerpt

Maternal effects are a crucial mechanism in a wide array of taxa to generate phenotypic variation, thereby affecting offspring development and fitness. Maternally derived thyroid hormones (THs) are known to be essential for offspring development in mammalian and fish models, but have been largely neglected in avian studies, especially in respect to natural variation and an ecological context. We studied, for the...
