Natural variation in circulating testosterone does not predict nestling provisioning rates in the northern cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis
M. Susan DeVries,Jodie M. Jawor +1 more
TL;DR: Relationships between circulating T and reproductive behaviour could be more complex for the cardinal than for many others birds similarly examined, and findings warrant additional examination of interrelationships between T, aggression and other forms of parental care.

Non-breeding gonadal testosterone production of male and female Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) following GnRH challenge
TL;DR: This work examined the ability of male and female Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) to elevate gonadal T following standardized injections of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) across three non-breeding seasons and reported the first report of a significant increase in gonadalT production following GnRH injections administered in the non- breeding season.

Testosterone elevation and response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone challenge by male northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) following aggressive behavior.
TL;DR: It is suggested that prolonged social instability could elicit significant elevations in T in males of this species, warranting further investigation, and T levels of individuals captured during STIs were not at maximum concentrations.

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture mitigates the effects of ocean acidification: Seaweeds raise system pH and improve growth of juvenile abalone
Scott L. Hamilton,Matthew S. Elliott,M. Susan DeVries,J. Adelaars,Maxwell D. Rintoul,Michael H. Graham +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed a land-based system for the integrated culture of seaweeds and shellfish, to test the efficacy of integrated versus non-integrated designs, and to assess the potential for IMTA to mitigate the effects of climate change from ocean acidification on shellfish growth and physiology.

Similarities in expression of territorial aggression in breeding pairs of northern cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis
TL;DR: Male and female responses of northern cardinal pairs to male simulated territorial intrusions are examined, finding similar responses towards a male ‘intruder’ are important in cardinal pairs for maintaining year-round resources.
