Corticosterone and Body Temperature During Acquisition of Social Hierarchy in the Captive Willow Ptarmigan ( Lagopus I. lagopus) 1

Abstract The establishment of a social order in a flock of Arctic birds is important for their survival. It also has effects on the internal state of each individual bird. Submissive birds have higher levels of body temperature and of plasma corticosterone than the dominant birds following establish...
