✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A systematic long‐term study was made on the possible involvement of humidity in the reproduction of male spotted munia. Both high humidity (90 ± 2%) and continuous illumination (LL) exhibited precocious gonadal development, indicating positive involvement of these 2 factors in the reproduction of this bird. Delay in testicular regression by 2 months in high humidity treated birds suggests a greater role for humidity than photoperiod. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

This study tested the hypothesis that T3 (triiodothyronine) is the tissue-active "seasonality" hormone by determining whether T3 could mimic T4 (thyroxine) and program photostimulated thyroidectomized (THX) male American tree sparrows (Spizella arborea) for three components of seasonality (i.e., ful
