The effects of castration and androgen replacement on song, courtship, and aggression in zebra finches (Poephila guttata)
Abstract
Castration of adult male zebra finches (Poephila guttata, Estrildidae) reduces their singing rate and the tempo of song, but castrates continue to sing song identical in form to preoperative song. Injection or implantation of testosterone propionate (TP) but not of vehicle alone reverses the changes produced by castration. Castration or partial castration also reduces the frequency of courtship, copulation, and aggression. Androgen (TP) replacement reverses these changes, but control injections do not. The persistence of song after castration contrasts with the abolition of song by castration in other birds, and this may be related to the natural history of zebra finches.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
