Effects of Elevated Prenatal Progesterone on Postnatal Emotional Reactivity in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus Virginianus) Neonates [PDF]
, 2012 Non-genetic maternal influences on prenatal development have a significant effect on the development of early life behavior. This study assessed the behavioral effect of elevated prenatal progesterone on postnatal emotional reactivity, or underlying fear

Prenatal auditory discrimination in the bobwhite quail
Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1981 Bobwhite quail embryos (Colinus virginianus) were tested to two conspecific calls on Day 22 of incubation (total incubation period = 23–24 days). In previous postnatal tests, one of these calls, a maternal exodus-like call, was highly attractive, and the other, an incidental quail call, was not an effective attractant.

Herpetofauna Richness, Diversity, and Occurrence at the Northern Ecotone of Longleaf Pine
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.The longleaf pine ecosystem is recognized for its value in providing habitat to a variety of specialist and endemic species, especially herpetofauna; however, at the northernmost ecotone of longleaf pine (in southeastern Virginia) little is known about the denizen reptiles and amphibians.

Life-history and hormonal control of aggression in black redstarts: blocking testosterone does not decrease territorial aggression, but changes the emphasis of vocal behaviours during simulated territorial intrusions [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction: Many studies in behavioural endocrinology attempt to link territorial aggression with testosterone, but the exact relationship between testosterone and territorial behaviour is still unclear and may depend on the ecology of a species.

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.In birds with double‐nesting and uniparental incubation, such as the rock partridge Alectoris graeca saxatilis, the male incubates one clutch, while the female incubates the other. A previous study found no significant difference in hatching and predation rates on Alpine rock partridge nests incubated by each sex.

Female biased offspring sex ratios of eastern wild turkeys across the southeastern United States
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.Prevailing theory suggests that sex ratios of offspring at birth should not differ from parity if costs of producing offspring of both sexes are similar. However, offspring sex ratios may deviate from parity when there is sex specific variation in fitness returns. We assessed offspring sex ratios of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris)
