Effects of elevated yolk testosterone levels on survival, growth and immunity of male and female yellow-legged gull chicks (2005, unknown): “…hatching or reduce egg hatchability (Sockman and Schwabl 2000; Navara et al. 2005), and negative effects or no effects of yolk androgens on phenotype or viability have been reported (Henry and Burke 1999; Sockman and Schwabl 2000; Andersson et al. 2004; Uller et al. 2005; Rubolini et al. in press).”
Mothers adjust egg size to helper number in a cooperatively breeding cichlid (2007, background): “…studies with fish and birds where females adjusted egg size to the quality of their current partners, clutch size remained unaffected (Pterapogon kauderni, Kolm 2001; Anas platyrhynchos, Cunningham and Russell 2000; Coturnix chinensis, Uller et al. 2005; and Serinus canaria, Leitner et al. 2006).”
Effects of prenatal yolk androgens on armaments and ornaments of the ring-necked pheasant (2006, unknown): “In the Chinese quail (Coturnix chinensis), yolk T inoculation resulted in reduced testes mass, but no effects on sexual plumage ornamentation were detected (Uller et al. 2005).”
