Hormones do not make the mole-rat: no steroid hormone signatures of subordinate behavioral phenotypes

M. Faykoo-Martinez, I. Toor, P. D. Edwards, R. Boonstra, M. M. Holmes

The study finds no steroid hormone differences among subordinate naked mole-rat phenotypes, suggesting alternative mechanisms drive behavioral variation.

Coat color mismatch improves survival of a keystone boreal herbivore: energetic advantages exceed lost camouflage

J. L. Kennah, M. J. L. Peers, E. Vander Wal, Y. N. Majchrzak, A. K. Menzies, E. K. Studd, R. Boonstra, M. M. Humphries, T. S. Jung, A. J. Kenney, C. J. Krebs, S. Boutin

This study finds that coat color mismatch in snowshoe hares reduces autumn mortality risk due to energetic advantages from insulation and lower metabolic rates, despite reduced camouflage.

Stress activity is not predictive of coping style in North American red squirrels

S. E. Westrick, F. van Kesteren, R. Palme, R. Boonstra, J. Lane, S. Boutin, A. McAdam, B. Dantzer

The paper tests if physiological and behavioral stress responses are correlated in wild red squirrels and finds they are independent.

Individual variation in phenotypic plasticity of the stress axis

S. Guindre-Parker, A. McAdam, F. van Kesteren, R. Palme, R. Boonstra, S. Boutin, J. Lane, B. Dantzer

The paper investigates individual variation in endocrine plasticity of red squirrels in response to fluctuating conspecific density, finding significant individual differences in both mean endocrine phenotype and plasticity.

Experimental increases in glucocorticoids alter function of the HPA axis in wild red squirrels without negatively impacting survival and reproduction

F. van Kesteren, B. Delehanty, S. E. Westrick, R. Palme, R. Boonstra, J. E. Lane, S. Boutin, A. G. McAdam, B. Dantzer

This study shows that experimental increases in cortisol in wild red squirrels alter HPA axis function but do not affect survival or reproduction.
