- Maternal yolk testosterone does not modulate parasite susceptibility or immune function in great tit nestlings (2005, unknown): “Yolk androgens can also increase the nestlings’ competitiveness in sibling interactions (Schwabl 1996; Lipar & Ketterson 2000; Eising & Groothuis 2003 ), and can enhance social status after fledging (Schwabl 1993).”
- Maternal hormones as a tool to adjust offspring phenotype in avian species. (2005, background): “The latter is consistent with the finding that the same treatment promotes alertness and activity in situations in which the chicks are waiting for their parents to return with food [25].”
- Sex-specific patterns of yolk androgen allocation depend on maternal diet in the zebra finch (2005, background): “A study in the black-headed gull found no evidence of metabolic costs in chicks that hatched from androgen-treated eggs (Eising et al., 2003), although other costs cannot be ruled out, such as elevated immunosuppression (Ketterson and Nolan, 1999).”
- Chapter 7 Hormones in Avian Eggs: Physiology, Ecology and Behavior (2008, background): “Some studies have shown that begging (the probability of a nestling begging or begging intensity) is higher for nestlings hatching from androgen‐injected than control eggs (Eising and Groothuis, 2003; Schwabl, 1996a).”
- Effects of prenatal yolk androgens on armaments and ornaments of the ring-necked pheasant (2006, unknown): “An increase in yolk androgens results in shorter time to hatching (Eising et al. 2001; Eising and Groothuis 2003) and enhances the development of specific embryonic mus cles (e.”
