Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

PLoS ONEGlucocorticoids are critical steroid hormones secreted from the adrenal glands. In mice and rats, over 90% of circulating corticosterone is bound to proteins such as corticosteroid-binding globulin and albumin, and the rest is unbound (free).

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Prolonged increase of corticosterone secretion by chronic social stress does not necessarily impair immune functions [PDF]
The influence of a chronic social stress upon immunity was investigated in Wistar rats, submitted for four weeks to two different behavioral situations, balanced in a factorial design: housing with three females and membership rotation.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

, 1998 A role for corticosterone in the consolidation of contextual fear conditioning has previously been proposed. In this study, physiological evidence was found to support this view.

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Birds involved in bird shows were compared against non‐show birds regarding show paticipation, behaviour, body score condiiton, and feather condition. Additionally, comparisons between on and off show days as well as before and after the show were made to investigate differences in behaviour and condition. Show birds demonstrated a closer to ideal body

Corticosterone - an anxiogenic or an anxiolytic agent?
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1979 Abstract Corticosterone (3–12 mg kg−1, i.p., giving rise to plasma corticosterone concentrations from 26.7 to 89.0 μg/100 ml) failed to have a significant anxiogenic action. Instead, corticosterone (3 mg kg−1) had a significant anxiolytic effect in the social interaction test of anxiety.

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,
