Characterization of multiple pathways modulating aggression in the male clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa)

This study’s aim was to determine the degree to which two possible mechanisms—serotonergic pathways and circulating testosterone levels—affect aggressive behavior. Male clouded leopard behavioral and hormonal data were collected during a series of […]
