Maternal testosterone affects the primary sex ratio and offspring survival in zebra finches (2006, background): “…role of androgens in sex determination comes from studies showing that females mated to attractive partners lay eggs with a high androgen content (Gil et al. 1999, 2004; von Engelhardt 2004; but see Rutstein et al. 2004) and that such females produce malebiased clutches (Sheldon et al. 1999).”
Nongenetic Inheritance and Its Evolutionary Implications (2009, background): “In birds, mothers can vary their yolk allocation to eggs (Rutstein et al. 2004).”
Primary sex ratio adjustment to experimentally reduced male UV attractiveness in blue tits (2006, background): “…by guest on 29 July 2018 et al. 1999; mallard [Anas platyrhynchos], Cunningham and Russell 2000; dark-eyed junco [Junco hyemalis], Grindstaff et al. 2001; zebra finch [Taeniopygia guttata], Rutstein et al. 2004; Zann and Runciman 2003).”
Do female association preferences predict the likelihood of reproduction? (2010, result): “However, the majority of this work has been based on the manipulation of male traits known to be important from other studies, or separate experiments within the same study (Gil et al. 1999; Cunningham and Russell 2000; Kolm 2001; Rutstein et al. 2004; Gorman et al. 2005).”
