title = "Lack of an effect of melatonin treatment via silastic capsules on photic-induced gonadal growth and the photorefractory condition in white-throated sparrows",
abstract = "The administration of melatonin via intraperitoneally placed Silastic capsules in white-throated sparrows failed to alter either photic-induced gonadal growth in females or the photorefractory condition in males. These results indicate that melatonin does not have a direct effect upon the avian photosexual response.",
