“…For example, maternal deposition of androgens into yolk was associated with specific components of chick begging that had a strong influence on male provisioning behavior in yellow-legged gulls (Larus michaellis). Paternal feeding rate was also strongly associated with nestling body mass in this study, suggesting that paternal investment in chick provisioning accelerated chick development (Noguera et al, 2013). A study that experimentally manipulated yolk androgens and investigated subsequent male provisioning behavior in great tits, however, did not find such an association (Tschirren and Richner, 2008).…”

“…One study even found that mothers are more sensitive to yolk hormone-mediated begging signals than fathers [97], which is the opposite of what is predicted under MAH [91]. There was some support for MAH in a study on yellow-legged gulls (Larus michahellis), which found that yolk testosterone affects a specific component of the chicks' begging calls to which fathers are particularly sensitive [98]. Although this study did not analyse provisioning rates of the two parents, it suggests that at least in some species females can shift the outcome of the sexual conflict over care in their favour by means of maternal hormones.…”

“…At present, we lack conclusive evidence as to whether females can use prenatal maternal effects to manipulate the behavior of caring males (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). A main reason for this is that it is difficult to demonstrate female manipulation, owing to several challenges.…”
