Heterochrony of puberty in the European Badger ( <i>Meles meles</i> ) can be explained by growth rate and group-size: Evidence for two endocrinological phenotypes

2018-08-31

Abstract excerpt

Puberty is a key stage in mammalian ontogeny, involving endocrinological, physiological and behavioural changes, moderated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Thus, not all individuals within one population achieve sexual maturity simultaneously. Here, using the European badger ( Meles meles ) as a model, we describe male testosterone and female oestrone profiles (using Enzyme-immunoassays) from first capture (3...
