    Horm Behav 39:185-94. 2001
    ..The results from both experiments suggest that intersexual advertisement, rather than territorial aggression, may be dependent on high T levels in this species...

    Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 150:204-10. 2008
    ..We conclude that testosterone has no direct effect on sparrow metabolic rate or muscle mass, but may interact with cage conditions to produce indirect changes to these variables...

    A F Russell
    Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
    Science 317:941-4. 2007
    ..We suggest that failure to consider maternal egg-investment strategies can lead to underestimation of the force of selection acting on helping in avian cooperative breeders...
