Corticosterone mediates carry-over effects between breeding and migration in the kittiwake Rissa tridactyla
International audience Carry-over effects, i.e. when processes in one season influence processes in the next, are believed to have important effects on behavior and fitness in animals. Despite an increasing interest in the identification of carry-over effects, there are few experimental studies of t...
