Disentangling bidirectional relationships between glucocorticoids and behavior: Experimentally elevated corticosterone levels correlate with rapid, sex-specific changes in food-acquisition behaviors of food-limited seabird chicks

Abstract Bidirectional relationships between hormones and behaviors are hypothesized: i.e. energetic consequences of behaviors may alter glucocorticoid levels, and elevated glucocorticoids may alter behavioral responses to stimuli in context-appropriate ways. We tested these relationships between the avian glucocorticoid corticosterone and behaviors related to food-acquisition in free-living seabird chicks (Black-legged kittiwakes, Rissa tridactyla) with robust HPA-axis activity.
