HighlightsTestosterone (T) is thought to integrate phenotypes that work well together.However, it is not clear how such integration is generated within the organism.T, receptors, and enzyme expression do not consistently co-vary across tissues.Patterns of endocrine integration vary across breeding stages, sex, and populations.Limited integration within populations could facilitate independent evolution of traits.Hormones have the potential to bring about rapid phenotypic change; however, they are highly conserved over millions of years of evolution. Here, we examine the evolution of hormone-mediated phenotypes, and the extent to which regulation is achieved via independence or integration of the many components of endocrine systems. We focus on the sex steroid testosterone (T), its cognate receptor (androgen receptor) and related endocrine components. We pose predictions about the mechanisms underlying phenotypic integration, including coordinated sensitivity to T within and among tissues and along the HPG axis. We then assess these predictions with case studies from wild birds, asking whether gene expression related to androgenic signaling naturally co-varies among individuals in ways that would promote phenotypic integration. Finally, we review how mechanisms of integration and independence vary over developmental or evolutionary time, and we find limited support for integration.
