“…Although we cannot exclude that administration of exogenous corticosterone attenuated the endogenous corticosterone release in response to stress (Akana et al 1992;Rich and Romero 2005;Busch et al 2008), a high dose of exogenous corticosterone could replace endogenous corticosterone production (Fusani 2008). Pellet doses used in our study (scaled to the body mass of Little Auks) corresponded to doses, which successfully increased levels of circulating corticosterone in birds in other experimental studies Bourgeon and Raclot 2006;Müller et al 2009a, b;Spée et al 2011). Continuous monitoring of corticosterone levels in experimental birds throughout the whole study period would strengthen our conclusions (Fusani 2008).…”

“…Previous studies have shown that exogenous corticosterone administration effectively increases the corticosterone level in birds (Kitaysky et al 2001;Romero et al 2005;Bourgeon and Raclot 2006;Angelier et al 2009;Müller et al 2009a, b;Spée et al 2011). For example, Spée et al (2011) observed a 3.3-fold increase in circulating corticosterone levels within 3 days of pellet implantation. We chose chicks with a similar body mass for the study, because corticosterone levels vary between individuals with respect to their body mass (Kidawa et al 2014).…”

“…In addition to correlational evidence, there was causal evidence suggesting that slight increases in GCs elevate parental care. An exception to the overall trend occurs in the probability to abandon nests containing offspring in birds, which appears to be increased by even slight increases in GCs within the baseline range (Silverin, 1986; Groscolas & Robin, 2001; Love, Breuner, Vezina, & Williams, 2004; Groscolas, Lacroix, & Robin, 2008; Spée et al., 2010, 2011; Ouyang et al., 2012; Strasser & Heath, 2013; but see Criscuolo et al., 2005), perhaps because chronic elevations in baseline GCs might trigger individuals to switch to an emergency life‐history stage (Wingfield et al., 1998). …”

“…Recently, experimental studies using CORT administration have attempted to understand the complex relationships between baseline CORT levels, foraging and fitness in wild seabirds (Angelier et al 2007, Cottin et al 2011, Spée et al 2011a, Crossin et al 2012. It is expected that increasing CORT levels during the breeding period should allow seabirds to cope with any additional energy requirements im posed by repro duction (Romero 2002), especially through an increase in the effort devoted to foraging.…”
