Effects of elevated yolk testosterone levels on survival, growth and immunity of male and female yellow-legged gull chicks (2005, unknown): “…variation showed that in several species where hatching is asynchronous, the concentration of yolk androgens increases with laying order (e.g. Schwabl 1993; Royle et al. 2001; Groothuis and Schwabl 2002; reviewed by Gil 2003; Groothuis et al. 2005a; but see Schwabl et al. 1997; Ellis et al. 2001).”
Female collared flycatchers adjust yolk testosterone to male age, but not to attractiveness (2005, background): “Other alternative explanations for the association of yolk testosterone with male age, such as phenotypic differences between females mated to young or older males (Groothuis and Schwabl, 2002; Pilz et al., 2003), are unlikely.”
Social environment affects female and egg testosterone levels in the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) (2003, unknown): “The social environment has also been found to affect levels of androgens transferred to the eggs (Schwabl 1997; Gil et al. 1999; Reed & Vleck 2001; Groothuis & Schwabl 2002; Whittingham & Schwabl 2002).”
Yolk androgens and begging behaviour in black-headed gull chicks: an experimental field study (2003, background): “Open-ground breeders such as gulls may benefit from starting to incubate a clutch before completion to protect it from predation or environmental challenges (e.g. solar radiation, cold; Magrath 1990; Veiga 1992; Stoleson & Beissinger 1995; see also Groothuis & Schwabl 2002).”
Sex-specific patterns of yolk androgen allocation depend on maternal diet in the zebra finch (2005, background): “…dependent on a number of interacting factors such as the characteristics of the egg, including its size, position in the laying sequence, and sex (Groothuis and Schwabl, 2002), as well as the trade-offs operating on the laying females, which will be fundamentally different for long- and…”
Egg yolk androgen levels increase with breeding density in the European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris (2004, unknown): “The relationship between social competition and yolk androgen levels is unclear in this case because peripheral areas in these colonies are characterized by higher visibility and higher aggression but lower breeding density than central areas (Groothuis & Schwabl 2002).”
Chapter 7 Hormones in Avian Eggs: Physiology, Ecology and Behavior (2008, background): “However, it is in gulls where within‐brood differences in yolk androgens are the most extreme (Groothuis and Schwabl, 2002), and where the best”
Yolk testosterone organizes behavior and male plumage coloration in house sparrows (Passer domesticus) (2004, background): “contents were correlated with ecological conditions around the nest (Groothuis and Schwabl 2002).”
