Exogenous testosterone does not modulate aggression in sex-role-reversed female Barred Buttonquails, Turnix suscitator

Abstract: In sex-role-reversed species, females are typically the more competitive sex, defending territories and access to mates, while males take care of the young, often without any help from the female. In males of species with traditional sex roles, testosterone levels generally rise during the breeding season and modulate territorial and aggressive behaviour. Similarly, testosterone may modulate aggressive behaviour in females of sex-role-reversed species. To test this idea, we experimentally increased testosteron… Show more

“…For several decades subcutaneous testosterone implants using silastic tubing have been used in wild animals to determine which traits are sensitive to enhanced testosterone circulation (Balthazart et al, 1983;Boersma et al, 2020;Cordero, 2008;Enbody et al, 2022;Fusani, 2008;Lahaye et al, 2014;Lindsay et al, 2016Lindsay et al, , 2011Muck and Goymann, 2018;Sandell, 2007). Yet, two challenges of testosterone implants endure today: 1) ensuring the dose is physiologically relevant, and 2) designing minimally invasive implants that do not require recapture and removal.…”
