Ontogeny of cortisol reaction norms in wild bonobos (Pan paniscus).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 28 Jan 2026

Sonnweber Ruth, Hohmann Gottfried, Deschner Tobias, Fruth Barbara, Heistermann Michael, Behringer Verena

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity enables animals to adjust physiology, behaviour, morphology and life-history traits in response to changing conditions, either reversibly or through irreversible developmental shifts. In long-lived species, early-life phenotypic changes can have profound consequences if they persist into adulthood. Understanding the balance between stable and flexible trait expression across ontogeny is...
