Avian Physiology and Reproductive Biology

 

In collaboration with Dr. Geoff Hill's lab, we have been conducting work involving the physiology and reproductive biology of several avian species. Projects completed and in progress include:

 

Effects of testosteorne and corticosterone on disease resistance in the house finch Carpodacus mexicanus

 

Patterns and effects of yolk androgen deposition in two passerine species

 

Physiological effects of dietary carotenoid intake in songbirds with extensive carotenoid-based ornamentation
