3.3. Effect of the simulation of territorial intrusion on behavior and hormonal levels
The simulation of territorial intrusion affected only two behavioral variables, “minutes with vocal activity” (Control: 3.63 ± 4.50; Experimental: 5.13 ± 4.05 — Mean ± SD) and “adjustments of position” (Control: 0.75 ± 1.53; Experimental: 3.13 ± 3.16 — Mean ± SD), that increased in response to the stimulus (Table 3). In addition, CORT and T were affected by date, and T decreased (Control: 35.40 ± 24.14; Experimental: 30.78 ± 23.58 — Mean ± SD) in response to simulation of territorial intrusion (Table 4).
