Abstract
Migration is an energy-demanding life-history period and also a significant population-limiting factor of long-distance migratory birds. It is important to understand how corticosterone, the main energy regulating hormone in birds, is associated with behavioural and physiological changes during migration. According to the migration modulation hypothesis (MMH), individual birds may express elevated levels of baseline corticosterone to facilitate...
