Within year individual variation in the timing of seasonal reproduction within wild bird populations in highly seasonal environments can be pronounced, but the molecular and physiological mechanisms responsible for this variation are unclear. We investigated the relationship between Clock gene poly-Q length, activation of the HPG endocrine axis, and the timing of breeding behavior, in a wild population of the...
