Removing the confound of time in investigating the regulation of serial behaviors: testosterone, prolactin and the transition from sexual to parental
Article Abstract:
Some hormonal changes related to the transition from sexual to parental behaviour that can be explained by seasonal changes in the hormones and the fact that parental behaviour follows sexual behaviour in the course of breeding is demonstrated. Immunoreactive prolactin and testosterone concentrations in laboratory-housed and free-living male American kestrels over the course of the breeding season and during sexual and parental phases of reproduction are quantified.

The assessment game in sand fiddler crab contests for breeding burrows
Article Abstract:
The sand fiddler crab contests for control of breeding burrows are presented. The tenure of individuals on breeding grounds is explained where multiple engagements are likely to test endurance and tolerance to damage over a period of days.

From individual behavior to population pattern: weather-dependent foraging and breeding performance in black kites
Article Abstract:
The effect of weather conditions on foraging and breeding performance of a medium-sized raptor, the black kite, Milvus migrans is studied. Behavioral adjustments by the kites, to be resistant to climatic changes, is investigated.
