Hormones and Fitness: Evidence for Trade-Offs in Glucocorticoid Regulation Across Contexts (2018, background): “Because hormone levels typically rise in organisms facing major stressors, baseline glucocorticoids are classically predicted to be higher in individuals with lower fitness prospects (“cort-fitness hypothesis:” Bonier et al., 2009b; Angelier et al., 2010; Strasser and Heath, 2013).”
The breeding performance of raptors in urban landscapes: a review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “There was no effect of urban land cover on the onset of laying in Barn Owls (Frey et al. 2011), American Kestrels (F. sparverius) (Strasser and Heath 2013) or Eurasian Kestrels (Sumasgutner et al. 2014b) when measured on an urban gradient.”
