Feather corticosterone is not associated with feather growth rate or quality across tropical and temperate passerines, but possibly linked to elevation

Ondřej Kauzál, Oldřich Tomášek, Kryštof Horák…·Tomáš Albrecht

This study examines the relationship between corticosterone levels in feathers and feather growth rate or quality across passerine birds, finding no association but suggesting elevation may influence corticosterone levels.
