Development and evaluation of a terrestrial animal-borne video system for ecological research
… AVED attachment increases the stress levels (fecal glucocorticoid metabolites [FGMs]) of captive white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Using a repeated measures analysis of variance, I found no difference in FGMs between control and treatment individuals during a 6 week trial that …

FEMALE COMPETITION AND THE ROLE OF TESTOSTERONE IN A POLYGYNOUS SYSTEM
… role in competitive ability. Immunoreactive fecal testosterone metabolites (fT) were strongly positively correlated to both dominance rank and number of agonistic bouts initiated per hour, but only agonism was associated with fT when dominance and agonism were accounted for simultaneously. …

Effect of selection for interspecific behavior on stress and conspecific behavior in tame and aggressive foxes
… and test a method for noninvasive measurement of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM) as a proxy for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity in tame and aggressive foxes. Glucocorticoid measurement from fecal samples is a practice that has been validated in other canids, such as …

Are Highways Stressful for Pikas?: Analysis of Stress Hormones of the American Pika (<i>Ochotona princeps</i>) Living Adjacent to Interstate 90 in the Cascade Range of Washington State
… in the Cascade Range of Washington. I extracted fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) concentrations from fresh fecal samples to determine chronic stress levels in pikas living adjacent to the highway compared with those living in similar rock embankment in a rails-to-trails state park, and in …

The foraging ecology of banded mongooses (Mungos mungo): Epidemiological and human-wildlife conflict implications
… the potential role of prolonged elevations of glucocorticoids in impairing cell-mediated immunity, which would play a significant role in determining susceptibility to a mycobacterium such as M. mungi, however, researchers have no data on the endocrinology of banded mongooses. Finally, …
