“…Second, the duration of the restraint may vary depending on the technique used, the experience of the researchers and the ease with which a species can be handled. This is important because handling duration may influence the degree to which a bird is stressed by the blood sampling protocol and, thus, affect its decision to continue or reduce its parental effort (Wingfield and Sapolsky 2003;Angelier and Chastel 2009 Phillips et al 2003). Importantly, closely related species or even different populations of the same species can show contrasting responses to a blood sampling protocol.…”

“…During the last decade, physiological measurements have been increasingly used to provide insights into evolutionary and ecological questions (Zera and Harshman 2001;Ricklefs and Wikelski 2002;Wingfield et al 2008;Angelier and Chastel 2009). These interdisciplinary approaches usually require the collection of tissues from wild organisms in order to obtain physiological measures.…”

During the last decades, eco-physiological studies have usually relied on the collection of blood from wild organisms in order to obtain relevant physiological measures. However, accurate estimates of the impact of capture and blood collection on performances of Polar seabird species have rarely been conducted. We investigated for the first time the effects of a blood sampling process on subsequent foraging behaviour, reproductive performance and return rate of black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) at Kerguelen Islands. We did not find any evidence that the blood sampling process as conducted in our study had detrimental effects on the breeding or foraging strategies or performance of blackbrowed albatrosses. Because blood collection can be performed in several different ways, we recommend that eco-physiologists conduct pilot studies to test whether their blood sampling process affects the performances of their study species.

“…Hormones such as prolactin (PRL; Angelier and Chastel 2009) and testosterone (T; Ketterson et al 1992) are linked to many avian behaviors. T is usually positively correlated with territoriality, mate guarding, and nest-building and negatively correlated with parental behavior, whereas PRL is usually positively correlated with incubation behavior and care of young (reviewed in Vleck and Vleck 2011 Wingfield et al 1989).…”

The hormones prolactin (PRL) and testosterone (T) are linked to breeding behaviors such as territory defense, incubation, and brood-rearing in birds. The Mountain Plover (Charadrius montanus) is a shorebird with an uncommon parental care system in which males and females tend separate nests. We collected blood from incubating male (n = 38) and female (n = 33) Mountain Plovers in Montana to determine how circulating plasma PRL and T varied by sex, day of incubation, and across the nesting season. PRL levels were similar in males and females. There was no relationship between day of incubation or Julian day and circulating PRL for either sex. T concentrations were higher in males than in females and tended to decrease across the incubation season for both sexes.

ABSTRACT.-The hormones prolactin (PRL) and testosterone (T) are linked to breeding behaviors such as territory defense, incubation, and brood-rearing in birds. The Mountain Plover (Charadrius montanus) is a shorebird with an uncommon parental care system in which males and females tend separate nests. We collected blood from incubating male (n ¼ 38) and female (n ¼ 33) Mountain Plovers in Montana to determine how circulating plasma PRL and T varied by sex, day of incubation, and across the nesting season. PRL levels were similar in males and females. There was no relationship between day of incubation or Julian day and circulating PRL for either sex. T concentrations were higher in males than in females and tended to decrease across the incubation season for both sexes.

“…Coupled with the fact that the two species differ both in the 113 timing and rate of moult [30], giant petrels provide a powerful system to look at hormonal 114 correlates of moult. By the time of hatching, giant petrels have begun moult, which continues 115 throughout the rest of the breeding season, and both species fledge their chicks and out-migrate at corticosterone [51], and between incubation behaviour and prolactin [2], we examined seasonal (ANOVA, all P>0.55; Fig. 2).…”

“…However, other studies have also suggested that up-regulation of baseline (not stress-induced) 324 corticosterone during reproduction can be a tactic in some species to facilitate high rates of chick 325 provisioning [2,36], but one that presents a potential conflict with regard to moult as up-326 regulation can diminish the structural and thermoregulatory properties of newly grown feathers 327…”
