FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
Barney SchlingerI am interested in the proximate mechanisms controlling animal behavior, particularly in how hormones are involved. You might have thought that hormones are always slow - acting, but this is not true. For example, we have, for the first time, measured rapid changes in the amounts of the sex - steroid estradiol in the auditory system of birds as they interact with other birds or hear the sounds of other birds. |
