Behavioral and physiological responses to experimentally elevated testosterone in female dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis carolinensis).

Testosterone mediates the expression of many fitness-related traits in male vertebrates and is thought to account for numerous sex differences in trait expression. Testosterone is also secreted by females; however, far less is known regarding its effects on female physiology and behavior. Using a bird species in which the effects of testosterone on males are well characterized, the dark-eyed ju...

Recent postglacial range expansion drives the rapid diversification of a songbird lineage in the genus Junco.

Pleistocene glacial cycles are thought to have played a major role in the diversification of temperate and boreal species of North American birds. Given that coalescence times between sister taxa typically range from 0.1 to 2.0 Myr, it has been assumed that diversification occurred as populations were isolated in refugia over long periods of time, probably spanning one to several full glacial c...

Seasonal Adjustments in Metabolism and Insulation in the Dark-eyed Junco’

Trends during summer and winter in body mass and composition, insulation, body temperature, and metabolism were investigated in seasonally acclimatized Dark-eyed Juncos (Bunco hyemalis) from western Oregon to determine if patterns of acclimatization were similar to those of passerines inhabiting harsher winter habitats. Body mass was significantly increased in winter (19.4 + 0.2 g) compared to ...

Circulating prolactin and corticosterone concentrations during the development of migratory condition in the Dark-eyed Junco, Junco hyemalis.

Endogenous plasma prolactin and baseline corticosterone concentrations were measured in Dark-eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis, n=27) photostimulated into migratory condition to look at how these hormones may be linked to the development of migratory condition. In addition to the commonly used assay for corticosterone, a recombinant-derived European starling prolactin assay validated for Dark-eyed ju...

Testosterone increases activity but not daily energy expenditure in captive male dark-eyed juncos, Junco hyemalis.

Plasma testosterone (T) levels in male dark-eyed juncos peak early in the breeding season, then decline. If T enhances opportunities for reproductive success, as suggested by previous experiments, why does elevated T not occur naturally? To address this question, we prolonged the early peak level throughout the breeding season and explored potential energetic costs of maintaining elevated T. We...
