Behavioral and physiological responses of a wild teleost fish to cortisol and androgen manipulation during parental care
Abstract
Proximate mediators of reproductive behaviors in vertebrates have a long history of study. In fishes, relatively few studies have focused on hormonal control of parental care, despite a comprehensive background on the general physiology of fishes, and the frequent occurrence of parental care behaviors.
