Determinants of reproductive costs in the long-lived Black-legged Kittiwake: A multiyear experiment (2004, background): “When corticosterone concentrations were experimentally increased in adult kittiwakes during a year of high food availability, similar behavioral changes occurred as time spent foraging by the parents increased, thus leaving their chicks unattended at the colony (Kitaysky et al. 2001).”
Immune response covaries with corticosterone plasma levels under experimentally stressful conditions in nestling barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) (2003, background): “In a recent study, Kitaysky et al. (2001) have shown that experimentally increased corticosterone levels in altricial nestlings of the kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) cause increased solicitation of parents to provide food.”
A multi‐tier approach to identifying environmental stress in altricial nestling birds (2005, positive): “…to the latter hypothesis, stress responses may be beneficial for developing nestlings in spite of their parental dependence, and environmental stressors (Kitaysky et al. 2001a; Mullner et al. 2004), or withinbrood social interactions (e.g. Tarlow et al. 2001) may change glucocorticoid release.”
Age, experience and reproductive performance in a long-lived bird: a hormonal perspective (2007, background): “A possible lower foraging ability in first-time breeding albatrosses results in increased corticosterone levels, which may decrease parental attendance (Kitaysky et al. 2001) C or tic os te ro ne le ve ls ( ng m l -1 )”
Glucocorticoid Hormone Levels Increase with Group Size and Parasite Load in Cliff Swallows (2006, positive): “2003), perhaps to stimulate increased begging (Kitaysky et al. 2001).”
Epigenetic effects on personality traits: early food provisioning and sibling competition (2005, background): “Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) chicks in broods of two begged more frequently than singletons when they were treated with corticosterone that enhances begging behaviour (Kitaysky et al., 2001).”
How does corticosterone affect parental behaviour and reproductive success? A study of prolactin in black-legged kittiwakes (2009, methodology): “Thus, our results suggest that the well-established negative effects of corticosterone treatment on the expression of parental care (Silverin 1986; Kitaysky et al. 2001; Wing- Corticosterone, prolactin and parental behaviour 791 © 2009 The Authors.”
Stress responsiveness, age and body condition interactively affect flight initiation distance in breeding female eiders (2012, methodology): “Published reproduction (Silverin 1987; Kitaysky et al. 2001; Romero 2004), we can expect reproducing individuals to down-regulate their stress response towards the end of life (e.”
