The effect of new alpha males on female stress in free-ranging baboons (2005, background): “Although a higher percentage of GC metabolites are excreted in urine (for baboons, urine: 85–87%, faeces: 13– 15%, Wasser et al. 2000), for a terrestrial primate that lives in a sandy environment it is generally easier and more reliable to collect faecal samples.”
Fecal glucocorticoid metabolite analysis as an indicator of stress during translocation and acclimation in an endangered large mammal, the Grevy's zebra (2008, methodology): “Fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) analysis is an increasingly promising tool for use in wildlife field studies and conservation (e.g. Wasser et al., 1997, 2000; Goymann et al., 1999; Millspaugh et al., 2001; Creel et al., 2002; Dehnhard et al., 2003; Mashburn & Atkinson, 2004).”
Evidence for density-dependent changes in body condition and pregnancy rate of North Atlantic fin whales over four decades of varying environmental conditions (2013, methodology): “Physiological hormone monitoring offers a powerful tool to detect hormones associated with pregnancy using material collected from exhaled breath or faeces (Wasser et al., 2000; Rolland et al., 2012).”
Noninvasive endocrine data for behavioural studies : the importance of validation (2004, background): “…quantify either current (e.g. Berg & Wynne-Edwards 2002; Maso et al. 2002) or past (e.g. Wasser et al. 2000; Ostner et al. 2002) levels of hormone production and the data can be used to determine the relations between a range of hormone levels and animal behaviour across taxa (Wasser et al. 2000).”
The influences of wolf predation, habitat loss, and human activity on caribou and moose in the Alberta oil sands (2011, positive): “Glucocorticoid (GC) and thyroid hormone metabolite (triiodothryronine, T3) concentrations were assayed from the 2006 fecal samples following Wasser et al. (2000, 2004, 2010).”
Hair cortisol concentration as a noninvasive measure of long-term stress in free-ranging grizzly bears (Ursus arctos): considerations with implications for other wildlife (2010, neutral): “05%) (Wasser et al. 2000; Hunt and Wasser 2003; von der Ohe et al. 2004).”
Scat detection dogs in wildlife research and management: application to grizzly and black bears in the Yellowhead ecosystem, Alberta, Canada (2004, methodology): “Fecal cortisol and progesterone metabolite concentrations were extracted from the ethanol-preserved 2001 scat samples, stored at –20 °C (Hunt and Wasser 2003), to provide an index of the amount of physiological stress and reproductive activity (females only) that each individual was experiencing wit”
Measuring stress in wildlife: techniques for quantifying glucocorticoids (2011, methodology): “Analysis techniques Wet or dry feces can be used for analysis, and both measures usually correlate quite well (Wasser et al. 2000).”
Hormones as indicators of stress. (2002, methodology): “[36] described an extraction system based on 0.”
Correlates of stress in free-ranging male chacma baboons, Papio hamadryas ursinus (2005, background): “…has been a recent explosion of interest in stress physiology as technical advances have allowed researchers to measure stress hormones, or glucocorticoids, noninvasively from free-ranging animals (Whitten et al. 1998; Wasser et al. 2000; Khan et al. 2002; Lynch et al. 2003; Beehner & Whitten 2004).”
