For birds breeding in temperate areas, territoriality and courtship co-occur during spring and are mirrored by elevated plasma levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone. By contrast, several tropical species show no major changes in LH and testosterone throughout the year and plasma levels are often low. This study describes changes in body condition, LH and testosterone levels throug...
