Abstract
âºWe tested how social setting changes testosterone level and aggression in blue-black grassquits. ⺠Males were submitted to three social conditions during 1 year: all males, mixed, and paired. ⺠We quantified aggressiveness among males and T plasma for individuals in each treatment monthly. ⺠There was more aggressiveness in the all-males treatment and T patterns varied across treatments. ⺠Male perception of social environment ultimately mediates hormonal production.
