Abstract
⺠We examined if male cardinals significantly elevate testosterone levels in aggressive contexts. ⺠Males were injected with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) following aggressive behavior. ⺠Testosterone levels of birds subject to STIs were not significantly higher than passive captures. ⺠Males captured in aggressive contexts could elevate testosterone in response to GnRH injection.
