Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Chronic Noise Is Related to Elevated Fecal Corticosteroid Metabolites in Lekking Male Greater Sage- Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus)
Jessica L. Blickley,Karen R. Word,Alan H. Krakauer,Jennifer L. Phillips,Sarah N. Sells,Conor C. Taff,John C. Wingfield,Gail L. Patricelli +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronic noise pollution can cause greater sage-grouse to avoid otherwise suitable habitat, and can cause elevated stress levels in the birds who remain in noisy areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocrine Flexibility: Optimizing Phenotypes in a Dynamic World?
Conor C. Taff,Maren N. Vitousek +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework of rapid endocrine flexibility is proposed that integrates ecological endocrinology with theoretical and empirical studies of phenotypic plasticity and behavioral syndromes, highlighting the need for research addressing variation in the scope and speed of flexibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
The repeatability of glucocorticoids: A review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Despite significant overall repeatability, there was substantial heterogeneity in estimates from different studies, suggesting that repeatability of glucocorticoid secretion varies substantially across systems and conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual selection, multiple male ornaments, and age- and condition-dependent signaling in the common yellowthroat.
Corey R. Freeman-Gallant,Conor C. Taff,Douglas F. Morin,Peter O. Dunn,Linda A. Whittingham,Susan M. Tsang +5 more
TL;DR: Age‐ and context‐dependent changes in the strength, direction, and target of selection may help explain the maintenance of multiple ornaments in this and other species.
Journal ArticleDOI
What Is Stress? A Systems Perspective.
Marco Del Giudice,C. Loren Buck,Lauren E. Chaby,Brenna M. G. Gormally,Conor C. Taff,Christopher J. Thawley,Maren N. Vitousek,Haruka Wada +7 more
TL;DR: How control theory suggests the existence of fundamental trade-offs in the design of stress responses is shown to point to potential insights into the effects of novel environmental conditions, including those resulting from anthropogenic change.
