Reproductive Seasonality of Seven Neotropical Passerine Species [PDF]
Abstract We investigated gonad sizes, nesting patterns, and plasma hormone concentrations of seven Neotropical passerine species in a lowland tropical rainforest (Panama) at 9°N latitude over at least one annual cycle. All species had entirely regressed gonads for several months of the year (October to January), coinciding with the end ...
