Experimental brood enlargement differentially influences the magnitude of the corticosterone stress response in closely related, co‐occurring songbirds

2018-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Rearing environments can shape offspring phenotype across taxa, yet little is known about how brood size influences hypothalamic–pituitary axis functioning, whether its expression trades off with growth, and the degree to which these relationships vary between species. We evaluated how brood size influenced nestling physiological (glucocorticoids) and somatic traits (growth), and the extent to which their relation...
