Male T levels could express male dominance and thereby territorial safety for female partners and thereby reduce their need for aggressive defence. Here, we explored the role of T levels in female-female competition in...
Although it is well documented that testosterone (T) is an important mediator in the regulation of behaviour in male vertebrates, its functional significance in females is less understood. Experimentally increased T in adult female birds has been found to have both advantageous and detrimental effects on behaviour and fitness. In addition, T may also mediate maternal effects when it is deposited into...
