Book Chapter Description

This chapter concerns the inter-relationships between hormones, brain, and behavior that mediate the occurrence of reproductive cycles and reproductive behavior among adults in avian species. The chapter ranges from a consideration of the neuroendocrine basis of seasonal reproduction to a description of the neural, and endocrine mechanisms that regulate male and female sexual behavior and parental behavior. Many of the individual sections of this chapter correspond to entire chapters in this multivolume work on hormones, brain, and behavior. A consideration of the neuroendocrine basis of reproductive cycles and reproductive behavior in bird species is potentially particularly beneficial. Many of the pioneering studies concerning different aspects of the inter-relations among hormones, brain, and behavior are conducted on birds. Therefore, the neuroendocrinology of reproductive behavior in birds can be considered more easily in a natural context than in many other taxa.
