My first PhD thesis paper is out now in Hormones and Behavior "Corticosterone predicts double-brooding in female savannah sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis)". Open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.yh... [1/7]
Welcome to the newest spot to get your CatCam updates! I am a PhD candidate studying the impact of outdoor cats on wildlife by attaching animal-borne cameras on owned domestic cats! Hopefully I'll be more disciplined and provide more research updates here than over at that last website!
My first first-author paper is out now as an accepted manuscript in Behavioral Ecology! "Reduced fitness of secondary females in a polygynous species: a 32-year study of Savannah sparrows" doi.org/10.1093/behe...
