Miles M, Vitousek M, Husak J, Johnson M, Martin L, Taff C, et al.
Integr Comp Biol . 2018 Jun; 58(4):751-762. PMID: 29897574
Circulating steroid hormone levels exhibit high variation both within and between individuals, leading some to hypothesize that these phenotypes are more variable than other morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits. This...

Love A, Lovern M, DuRant S
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2017 Jul; 252:18-26. PMID: 28733227
Studies using wild animals in laboratory-based research require bringing wild-captured organisms into a novel setting, which can have long-lasting impacts on physiology and behavior. In several species, captivity stimulates stress...

Husak J, Roy J, Lovern M
J Exp Biol . 2017 Feb; 220(Pt 8):1497-1502. PMID: 28167809
Acquired energetic resources allocated to a particular trait cannot then be re-allocated to a different trait. This often results in a trade-off between survival and reproduction for the adults of...

Bagwill A, Lovern M, Worthington T, Smith L, McMurry S
J Exp Zool A Ecol Genet Physiol . 2016 Oct; 325(8):548-561. PMID: 27714986
Amphibian metamorphosis is complex and larval morphology and physiology are completely restructured during this time. Amphibians that live in unpredictable environments are often exposed to stressors that can directly and...

Burtka J, Lovern M, Grindstaff J
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2016 Mar; 229:92-9. PMID: 26972151
Consistent behavioral differences among individuals, or personalities, have been hypothesized to arise as a result of consistent individual differences in hormone levels. Individual variation in baseline hormone levels or hormonal...

Baird T, Lovern M, Shine R
Horm Behav . 2014 Jun; 66(2):393-400. PMID: 24907453
Water dragons (Intellegama [Physignathus] lesueurii) are large (to >1m) agamid lizards from eastern Australia. Males are fiercely combative; holding a territory requires incessant displays and aggression against other males. If...

Cox R, Lovern M, Calsbeek R
J Anim Ecol . 2014 Apr; 83(4):888-98. PMID: 24724820
The ubiquitous life-history trade-off between reproduction and survival has long been hypothesized to reflect underlying energy-allocation trade-offs between reproductive investment and processes related to self-maintenance. Although recent work has questioned...

Husak J, Lovern M
Horm Behav . 2014 Mar; 65(4):408-15. PMID: 24662425
Variation in aggression among species can be due to a number of proximate and ultimate factors, leading to patterns of divergent and convergent evolution of behavior among even closely related...

Warner D, Lovern M
Physiol Biochem Zool . 2014 Mar; 87(2):276-87. PMID: 24642545
Environmental conditions that reproductive females experience can influence patterns of offspring provisioning and fitness. In particular, prey availability can influence maternal reproduction and, in turn, affect the viability of their...

Zhou S, Holmes M, Forger N, Goldman B, Lovern M, Caraty A, et al.
J Comp Neurol . 2013 Mar; 521(13):3003-29. PMID: 23504961
In naked mole-rat (NMR) colonies, breeding is monopolized by the queen and her consorts. Subordinates experience gonadal development if separated from the queen. To elucidate the neuroendocrine factors underlying reproductive...
