• Immune challenge mediates vocal communication in a passerine bird: an experiment (2004, background): “Other studies of starlings have demonstrated the effect of testosterone implantation on the proportion of time spent singing (De Ridder et al., 2000; Pinxten et al., 2002).”
• Testosterone and human aggression: an evaluation of the challenge hypothesis. (2006, background): “…high levels of exogenous testosterone to several species (the song sparrow, the house sparrow, and the European starling) increased their mating and aggressive behavior, and suppressed their paternal behavior (Wingfield, 1984; de Ridder et al., 2000; Hegner and Wingfield, 1987; Peters, 2002).”

• Dominance, aggression and testosterone in wild chimpanzees: a test of the ‘challenge hypothesis’ (2004, background): “Elegant field experiments have shown that testosterone implants can induce polygyny in normally monogamous species (Wingfield 1984; De Ridder et al. 2000 ).”
• Behavioural insensitivity to supplementary testosterone during the parental phase in the chestnut-collared longspur,Calcarius ornatus (2002, background): “…house sparrows, Passer domesticus (Hegner & Wingfield 1987), reed warblers, Acrocephalus scirpaceus (Dittami et al. 1991), European starlings, Sturnus vulgaris (De Ridder et al. 2000), house finches, Carpodacus mexicanus (Stoehr & Hill 2000) and great tits, Parus major (Van Duyse et al. 2000).”
• Green nesting material has a function in mate attraction in the European starling (2004, unknown): “An experimental study showed that males with an increased testosterone level, which is known to have a function in male courtship, sang more and carried more green material into the nestbox, but had a lower incubation and feeding rate than control males (De Ridder et al. 2000).”
