Plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in serial blood samples of female ring doves (Streptopelia risoria) were measured by radioimmunoassay method. The findings indicate the following pattern of LH levels: LH increases during early courtship which reaches a peak (5.43 .+-. 0.79 ng/ml) during the nesting period. LH declines following egg-laying (3.77 .+-. 0.33 ng/ml) and again after hatching (2.23 .+-. 0.28 ng/ml). It remains high in females which laid infertile eggs initially and subsequently showed a further laying. The results are compared with published data on plasma estrogens and progesterone in the dove''s breeding cycle.
