- Authors
Spencer, K. A.; MacDougall-Shackleton, S. A.
- Abstract
In this article, the authors describe the evidence favoring the developmental stress hypothesis (DSH) and its importance in the evolution of other indicators of developmental stability in birds. They agree that it is necessary to take developmental conditions when assessing environmental changes on adult performance. According to Stephen Nowicki and William Searcy, DSH has a wider implications in the development of other cognitive systems when their recent study in the zebra finch has linked song-learning capacity to other cognitive function.
