Schematic model of the hypotheses being tested. Our experiment was designed to provide insight into the hypothesis that A) the acquisition of dominance status and associated high T (variables that can influence each other reciprocally) B) upregulates AR in the POM and possibly HVC and DM C) to promote courtship singing. Our data also allowed us to consider the additional (not mutually exclusive) possibilities that D) behavior influences AR activity independent of T and that E) alternative androgen-independent pathways regulate status-appropriate singing behavior.
