Figure 2

Corticosterone concentrations for each component of the five-point HPA challenge at (A) 6 months and (B) 12 months, and the reduced three-point HPA challenge at (C) 18 months. All control (blue circle) and 5 ng embryonic corticosterone (green triangle) individuals are represented. Black dashes represent group means and are connected by dashed lines for each treatment. Points are jittered for clarity of illustration. Differences between treatments at the same HPA challenge timepoint are marked with an asterisk (Tukey HSD < 0.05). Because the majority of corticosterone values fell between 0 and 40 ng/ml, we split the y-axis at 40 ng/ml to more easily see the values between 0 and 40 ng/ml.
