Fig. 7. Integrated tarsus vs integrated total corticosterone (CORT) for
the first 24 h of treatment with dermal patches containing CORT and patches
with vehicle only. Integrated measures were used to incorporate both rate and
direction of changes. Individuals from both treatment and control groups are
plotted together. N=18, 20, 20 for D1–3, 4–6 and
7–9, respectively (D, days post-hatching). Trend lines were added for
visualization.
