The responsiveness of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis to stressors is crucial for wild animals to survive and adapt to environmental changes without compromising individual welfare. We analysed the influence of prior weather conditions, seasonality, the influx of ecotourism, and nutrition on stress levels in a wild population of red deer in a Mediterranean hunting reserve in the Pre-Pyrenees, Spain.

In teleost fshes, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis leads to an elevation of circulating cortisol levels as a primary stress response. While acute elevation of cortisol is generally benefcial, long-term elevation, a common characteristic of chronic stress, may lead to detrimental efects on health and physiological performance in fshes.

The common standard sampling method to determine corticosterone in feathers (CORTf) is to pluck them from the bird's skin. This procedure is considered to be painful, and the animals have to be caught and fixated firmly. [...]

The impacts of environmental changes and anthropogenic threats in marine mammals are a growing concern for their conservation. In recent years, efforts have been directed to understand how marine mammals cope with stressors and to assess and validate stress biomarkers, mainly levels of glucocorticoid hormones (e. [...]

Research projects on birds' welfare or their stress physiology are often complemented by measurements of corticosterone level in feathers. Until now, the common standard for this method is to collect the feathers by plucking, a procedure which on living birds is presumed to be painful and to cause stress. [...]
