Eavesdropping on heterospecifics Does it modify reproductive physiology in female brood parasites
Meeting Abstract P1-184 Friday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Eavesdropping on heterospecifics: Does it modify reproductive physiology in female brood parasites PELLICANO, A*; AZIEVA, G; LYNCH, KS; Hofstra University apelli4@pride.hofstra.edu Social regulation of reproductive hormones is a means by which conspecific males and females orchestrate successful reproductive efforts. We investigate whether social cues modify activity within the […]
