TI  - Relationships between POPs and baseline corticosterone levels in black-legged 
      kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) across their breeding cycle.

AB  - Chronic exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in wildlife might alter 
      the response to environmental changes through interference with the regulation of 
      stress hormones. Here, we examined the relationship between blood concentrations 
      of several POPs and baseline plasma corticosterone levels in the black-legged 
      kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) during three distinct periods in the breeding 
      season. The concentrations of POPs and corticosterone increased, whereas body 
      mass decreased progressively from the pre-laying period to the incubation and the 
      chick rearing period.  summation operatorPCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) correlated positively with 
      the baseline corticosterone levels during the pre-laying period, which might 
      suggest that PCBs affect the regulation of corticosterone. However, this 
      relationship was not found during the incubation or the chick rearing period. 
      Possible explanations are discussed with emphasis on how total stress/allostatic 
      load is handled during different periods and conditions.
