Fig. 1. Mean circulating CORT concentrations at day 5 post-wounding in
pre-reproductive and vitellogenic females undergoing CORT and diet
manipulations. See text for a description for treatment groups. Values are
means ± s.e.m.; different letters denote statistically significant
differences at P 0.05.
