Glucocorticoids, male sexual signals, and mate choice by females: Implications for sexual selection.

General and comparative endocrinology - 1 Mar 2020

Leary Christopher J, Baugh Alexander T

Abstract excerpt

We review work relating glucocorticoids (GCs), male sexual signals, and mate choice by females to understand the potential for GCs to modulate the expression of sexually selected traits and how sexual selection potentially feeds back on GC regulation. Our review reveals that the relationship between GC concentrations and the quality of male sexual traits is mixed, regardless of whether studies focused on...
