Journal ArticleDOI
The role of animal behaviour in the study of endocrine-disrupting chemicals
TL;DR: A primer on endocrine-disrupting chemicals and the role that they envision for behaviour in the field of ecotoxicology is described, in order to stimulate a dialogue between animal behaviourists and Ecotoxicologists that will enhance understanding of these environmental contaminants and their impacts on animal populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental cooling during incubation leads to reduced innate immunity and body condition in nestling tree swallows
TL;DR: The results indicate that environmental conditions and trade-offs experienced during one stage of development can have important carry-over effects on later life-history stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acorn mast drives long-term dynamics of rodent and songbird populations
Ethan D. Clotfelter,Amy B. Pedersen,Jack A. Cranford,Nilam Ram,Eric Snajdr,Val Nolan,Ellen D. Ketterson +6 more
TL;DR: Variation in acorn mast, the keystone resource in this community, was explained by weather conditions as far back as 2 years before the mast event, and was a strongly positive predictor of rodent abundance the following year, whereas spring and summer temperature and raptor abundance negatively affected rodent abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of elevating plasma testosterone in females of a socially monogamous songbird: evidence of constraints on male evolution?
Ethan D. Clotfelter,Dawn M. O'Neal,Jacqueline M Gaudioso,Joseph M. Casto,Ian M Parker-Renga,Eric Snajdr,Deborah L Duffy,Val Nolan,Ellen D. Ketterson +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that selection on males for higher testosterone might initially lead to a correlated response in females producing changes in body mass and feather molt, both of which could be detrimental.
