cortbowl

The aim of the study was to look at the corticosterone increase due to the corticosterone 
implants. In each brood one or two nestlings were implanted with a corticosterone-implant 
and one or two nestlings with a placebo-implant (variable Implant). Blood samples were 
taken just before implantation (day 1), 2 and 20 days after implantation. 
In total we have 287 measurements of 151 individuals (variable Ring) of 54 broods.
