2021, Behavioural ProcessesCitation Excerpt :We decided to focus only on adult males of the herd (N = 11) that were minimum of five years old, and up to ten years old (median age: 7). Male behavior is suggested to be more repeatable than female behavior for two main reasons: first, due to testosterone levels (Andrew, 1972; Wingfield, 1994; cf. Bell et al., 2009) and second, due to male behaviors that are under sexual selection, as the predictability of males in certain behavioral traits is often linked to their behavior in another, inter-connected context (Bell et al., 2009; Garamszegi et al., 2006; Kokko, 1998). We only studied adult animals (N = 11) since, as described in humans (Roberts and DelVecchio, 2000), mallards (Anas platyrhynchos, Butler et al., 2011) and red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris, Kelley et al., 2015), personality is shown to go through changes along with development (Class and Brommer, 2016; Stamps and Groothuis, 2010).

2018, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :This result is reminiscent of the phenomenon known as persistence, in which free-living birds subjected to a simulated territorial intrusion continue to exhibit vigilance even after the threat has been removed (Wingfield, 2005). In song sparrows, persistence can be observed for hours or even days after an intrusion and is thought to be mediated by sex steroids (Wingfield, 1994a, 1994b). Our behavioral paradigm does not exactly model the conditions under which persistence is usually studied, because the birds maintained auditory contact after the barrier was replaced.
Functional significance of men's testosterone reactivity to social stimuli
2017, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :To summarize, it is plausible that aggression and aggression-related behaviors (e.g., competitive motivation and physical strength) would act as behavioral pathways through which testosterone reactivity facilitates success in intrasexual contests, and ultimately mate acquisition, in accordance with the prediction of life history theory. However, in both non-human (Wingfield, 1994; Martinez et al., 1995; Fuxjager et al., 2010) and human animals (van der Meij et al., 2012a; Schultheiss and Rohde, 2002; Schultheiss et al., 2005) post-encounter androgens offer a biological substrate for a variety of behaviors that are not necessarily confined to aggression. For example, in humans, contest-related testosterone fluctuations seem to also map onto learning (Schultheiss and Rohde, 2002; Schultheiss et al., 2005).
