Measuring corticosterone in seabird egg yolk and the presence of high yolk gestagen concentrations.
International audience Large inter-species differences have been found in yolk corticosterone amounts in avian eggs. While some studies have failed to detect significant amounts of corticosterone, in other species high amounts have been recorded, such as in a recent study of southern rockhopper peng...
