Journal ArticleDOI
Stress, reproduction, and adrenocortical modulation in amphibians and reptiles.
Ignacio T. Moore,Tim S. Jessop +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that several ecologically based ideas, such as variability in the length of the breeding season and lifetime reproductive opportunities, can be used to explain the utility of adrenocortical modulation in amphibian and reptilian species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life history and the ecology of stress: how do glucocorticoid hormones influence life-history variation in animals?
TL;DR: It is proposed that GC effects on life-history transitions, survival probabilities and fecundity can be modelled in existing quantitative demographic frameworks to improve the understanding of how GC variation influences life- history evolution and GC-mediated effects on population dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-cultural consensus for waist–hip ratio and women's attractiveness
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the same stimulus for diverse racial groups (Bakossiland, Cameroon, Africa; Komodo Island, Indonesia; Samoa; and New Zealand) to examine the universality of relationships between waist-hip ratio (WHR) and attractiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steroid hormone profiles and relative body condition of calling and satellite toads: implications for proximate regulation of behavior in anurans
TL;DR: A model that incorporates relationships among energy reserves, androgens, corticosterone, and arginine vasotocin-producing neurons in the telencephalon to explain transitions between calling and satellite tactics in toads is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of the adrenocortical stress response in marine turtles (Cheloniidae): evidence for a hormonal tactic maximizing maternal reproductive investment
TL;DR: Results could indicate that the large reproductive investment necessary for female marine turtle reproduction might underlie the marked decrease in adrenocortical responsiveness, and this hormonal mechanism could function as one strategy by which female marine turtles maximize their current reproductive event.
