The relationship of telomere length to baseline corticosterone levels in nestlings of an altricial passerine bird in natural populations

BACKGROUND: Environmental stressors increase the secretion of glucocorticoids that in turn can shorten telomeres via oxidative damage. Modification of telomere length, as a result of adversity faced early in life, can modify an individual’s phenotype. Studies in captivity have suggested a relationsh...
