Abstract
It has been well-established that there is variation in the strength and direction of the relationship between circulating glucocorticoids (GCs) and fitness. When studies demonstrate such variation or the direction of the GC–fitness relationship is unexpected, the results are often attributed to context-dependency. However, descriptors of context can be vague (e.g., “environmental context”) and few studies explicitly test how the optimal...
