Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

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.

Seasonal variation in faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations of two dominant southern African murids (Lemniscomys rosalia and Mastomys coucha) across variously transformed landscapes

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Global landscape transformations are a result of a growing human population and the subsequent increased use of natural habitats. Local species extinctions across various transformed landscapes emphasise the importance of monitoring wildlife responses to anthropogenic activities.

Chronic wasting disease is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations in a white‐tailed deer population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many clinical signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus are consistent with those of chronic stress including hyperexcitability, head tremors, teeth grinding, pacing, excessive salivation, drinking, and urination. Deer with CWD‐positive (CWD+) status are more likely to exhibit poor body condition and to die, and

Fecal Glucocorticoid and Androgen Metabolites in Eastern Grey Kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) Following Environmental Relocation

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Fecal glucocorticoid (GCM) and androgen metabolite (AM) concentrations were monitored for 3 months following the relocation of three eastern gray kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) between zoological facilities. Both metabolites showed high concentrations during the early postrelocation period, followed by a rapid decline and stabilization, suggesting ...

The Scoop on Honey Badger Poop: Validation of a Non‐Invasive Method for Assessing Physiological Responses in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Captive honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) are routinely exposed to environmental and husbandry‐related stressors that differ markedly from their natural conditions; however, physiological welfare assessments in this species remain limited. This study aimed to validate a non‐invasive approach to evaluate stress‐related fecal glucocorticoid ...
