Risk-averse personalities have a systemically potentiated neuroendocrine stress axis: A multilevel experiment in Parus major
Hormonal pleiotropy-the simultaneous influence of a single hormone on multiple traits-has been hypothesized as an important mechanism underlying personality, and circulating glucocorticoids are central to this idea. A major gap in our understanding is the neural basis for this link. Here we examine the stability and structure of behavioral, endocrine and neuroendocrine traits in a population of...
متن کاملRealized heritability of personalities in the great tit (Parus major).
Behaviour under conditions of mild stress shows consistent patterns in all vertebrates: exploratory behaviour, boldness, aggressiveness covary in the same way. The existence of highly consistent individual variation in these behavioural strategies, also referred to as personalities or coping styles, allows us to measure the behaviour under standardized conditions on birds bred in captivity, lin...
متن کاملNatal dispersal and personalities in great tits (Parus major).
Dispersal is a major determinant of the dynamics and genetic structure of populations, and its consequences depend not only on average dispersal rates and distances, but also on the characteristics of dispersing and philopatric individuals. We investigated whether natal dispersal correlated with a predisposed behavioural trait: exploratory behaviour in novel environments. Wild great tits were c...
متن کاملThe Stress Axis Gone Awry: A Possible Neuroendocrine Explanation for Increased Risk of Completed Suicide
• While not useful as a screening tool or specific diagnostic indicator, a patient’s DST status provides useful information about the character of the depressive state, particularly as it relates to agitation and anxiety. The HPA Axis and Mental Status The HPA axis is crucial to survival. At baseline, it maintains homeostasis and circadian rhythms through a finetuned feedback loop, consisting o...
متن کاملStress protein levels and blood parasite infection in blue tits (Parus caeruleus): a medication field experiment
It has been suggested that blood parasites are a source of physiological stress for avian hosts in the wild. We report the first experimental evidence relating blood parasite infection to the physiological stress response in a wild avian population. We reduced through medication the intensity of infection by Haemoproteus majoris and the prevalence of infection by Leucocytozoon majoris in half o...
