Testosterone mediates status-specific patterns of cooperation in a social network

T. B. Ryder, R. Dakin, B. J. Vernasco, B. S. Evans, B. M. Horton, I. T. Moore

The paper shows that testosterone affects cooperation in male wire-tailed manakins differently based on their social status, with high testosterone promoting cooperation in non-territorial males but reducing it in territorial males.
