Testing the Fitness Effects of Glucocorticoids Within a Resource Framework
Meeting Abstract 61-5 Friday, Jan. 6 14:30 – 14:45 Testing the Fitness Effects of Glucocorticoids Within a Resource Framework BREUNER, CW*; BERK, SA; The University of Montana; The University of Montana creagh.breuner@umontana.edu http://breunerlab.squarespace.com There are three main hypotheses regarding the effects of glucocorticoids on fitness. The CORT-tradeoff hypothesis suggests that elevated CORT reallocates energy away from non-essential […]
