Corticosterone levels during post-natal development in captive American kestrels (Falco sparverius)Oliver P Love
Avian Science and Conservation Centre, McGill University, 21, 111 Lakeshore Drive, Ste Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, Canada H9X 3V9
Gen Comp Endocrinol 130:135-41. 2003....
The adaptive value of stress-induced phenotypes: effects of maternally derived corticosterone on sex-biased investment, cost of reproduction, and maternal fitnessOliver P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6, Canada
Am Nat 172:E135-49. 2008..Our results also indicate that the branding of the proximate effects of maternal glucocorticoids on offspring as negative ignores the possibility that short-term phenotypic changes may actually increase maternal fitness...
Using life-histories to predict and interpret variability in yolk hormonesO P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC, Canada
Gen Comp Endocrinol 163:169-74. 2009....
Determinants of within- and among-clutch variation in yolk corticosterone in the European starlingO P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British, Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6
Horm Behav 53:104-11. 2008....
Stress hormones: a link between maternal condition and sex-biased reproductive investmentOliver P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6, Canada
Am Nat 166:751-66. 2005..Together with recent studies in other vertebrate taxa, these results suggest that maternal stress hormones provide a mechanistic link between maternal quality and sex-biased maternal investment in offspring...
Mediation of a corticosterone-induced reproductive conflictOliver P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6 Canada
Horm Behav 46:59-65. 2004..Together with mounting evidence, we suggest that elevated corticosteroid levels are an inherent and necessary part of reproduction in nonmammalian tetrapods...
Repeated restraint and sampling results in reduced corticosterone levels in developing and adult captive American kestrels (Falco sparverius)Oliver P Love
Avian Science and Conservation Centre, McGill University, 21, 111 Lakeshore Drive, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec H9X 3V9, Canada

Sex-specific variability in the immune system across life-history stagesOliver P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6, Canada
Am Nat 172:E99-112. 2008..Data are consistent with immunity being a highly plastic trait that is sex-specifically modulated in a context-dependent manner and suggest that immunity at one stage may provide limited information about immunity at future stages...
Plasticity in the adrenocortical response of a free-living vertebrate: the role of pre- and post-natal developmental stressOliver P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, V5A 1S6 Canada

Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Horm Behav 54:194-202. 2008..Taken together, these data suggest that DHEA may play a role in brain sexual differentiation in songbirds...
Shifts in metabolic demands in growing altricial nestlings illustrate context-specific relationships between basal metabolic rate and body compositionFrançois Vézina
Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6, Canada
Physiol Biochem Zool 82:248-57. 2009..In the future, such comparisons must be done while taking the physiological state of the study animal into account...
Pre-laying climatic cues can time reproduction to optimally match offspring hatching and ice conditions in an Arctic marine birdOliver P Love
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Windsor, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, ON, N9B 3P4, Canada
Oecologia 164:277-86. 2010..Results are especially relevant to future work in polar environments given that global climatic changes are predicted to be most intense at high latitudes...
