• Stress hormones link food availability and population processes in seabirds (2007, background): “At least in some cases, increased CORT secretion in swallows could be attributed to a decrease in food availability and/or to metabolic challenges induced by heavy parasite loads in individuals (Raouf et al. 2006).”
• Short- and long-term effects of developmental corticosterone exposure on avian physiology, behavioral phenotype, cognition, and fitness: A review (2011, unknown): “For example, aggression from or competition with a sibling (e.g., Vallarino et al., 2006), presence of ectoparasites (e.g., Raouf et al., 2006), or insufficient resources resulting in nutritional stress (e.g., Pravosudov and Kitaysky, 2006) can all lead to elevated CORT secretion.”
• Stress in a conservation context: A discussion of glucocorticoid actions and how levels change with conservation-relevant variables (2009, background): “, 2004), social structure and relationships (Pride, 2005; Raouf et al., 2006; Rubenstein, 2007; Gobush et al., 2008), immune state or infection status (Boonstra et al.”
