Epidermal hyperplasia in the incubation patch of the California quail, Lophortyx californicus, in relation to pituitary prolactin content.
TLDR
Comparison of the condition of the epidermis with pituitary prolactin content revealed interesting relationships between synthesis and release of this hormone throughout the quail reproductive cycle, indicating that the incubation of eggs stimulates release of Prolactin from the pituitaries.About:

Family planning in the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus): the ultimate control of covariation of laying date and clutch size
TL;DR: Plasma prolactin data of female kestrels show that this hormone is a serious candidate for a physiological component relaying time of year in the authors' model for clutch size regulation, which incorporates an increasing tendency to incubate the first eggs with progression of the season.

Prolactin and luteinizing hormone levels in female turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) during a photoinduced reproductive cycle and broodiness
W.H. Burke,P.T. Dennison +1 more
TL;DR: Serum prolactin and luteinizing hormone levels were measured in female turkeys from the onset of photostimulation, through the egg-laying period and into the incubation (broodiness) phase of the reproductive cycle.

Bio-assay of Prolactin. Analysis of the Pigeon Crop-Sac Response to Local Prolactin Injection by an Objective and Quantitative Method
TL;DR: Mucosal dry weight responses were highly correlated with response diameter and response area measurements, and the responsiveness of the crop-sac ME to local prolactin injection was unrelated to either the initial thick...

Hormonal control of incubation patch development in the California quail Lophortyx californicus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied natural and hormonally induced incubation patch development in the California quail, Lophortyx californicus, and found that the quail patch was not as edematous as is that of passerine birds.

TL;DR: The concentration of prolactin in the gland exhibited a circadian rhythm and activity in the hypophyses of rats maintained under standardized conditions was assayed in pigeons.
