Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “Such studies often find elevated FGM in animals exposed to various forms of human activity (Creel et al., 2002; Garcia Pereira et al., 2006; Millspaugh et al., 2007; Wasser and Hunt, 2005).”
Measuring stress in wildlife: techniques for quantifying glucocorticoids (2011, background): “, conspecifics, predators, weather), climate change, relocation or reintroduction, and habitat disturbance impact populations (Boonstra and Singleton 1993; Wasser et al. 1997; Creel et al. 2002; Cyr and Romero 2007; Thiel et al. 2008; Monclús et al. 2009; Sheriff et al. 2009a).”
Decline in Relative Abundance of Bottlenose Dolphins Exposed to Long‐Term Disturbance (2006, background): “For example, animals demonstrating the strongest responses are not necessarily those most vulnerable to disturbance (e.g., Creel et al. 2002; Stillman & Goss-Custard 2002; Beale & Monaghan 2004b).”
A Review of Environmental Factors Affecting Elk Winter Diets (2007, background): “…hunting) causes significant behavioral and physiological responses by elk, including movement, displacement (Edge and Marcum 1985, Conner et al. 2001), changes in group size, habitat shifts (Coop 1973, Beall 1974, Millspaugh et al. 2000), and glucocorticoid stress responses (Creel et al. 2002).”
Do baseline glucocorticoids predict fitness? (2009, background): “[ 6 ,7]). Across these studies, higher levels of baseline cort are routinely assumed to indicate an individual or population in worse condition, and of reduced relative fitness, as compared to individuals or populations with lower levels of cort (e.g.”
Maternal adversity and ecological stressors in natural populations: the role of stress axis programming in individuals, with implications for populations and communities (2013, background): “Human disturbance, both recreational and industrial activity, can also cause an increase in maternal GCs in mammals (Creel et al. 2002; Wasser et al. 2011) and birds (Thiel et al.”
Effects of habituation, research and ecotourism on faecal glucocorticoid metabolites in wild western lowland gorillas: Implications for conservation management (2014, background): “Longterm elevation of circulating GC levels is, however, maladaptive, as it is linked to hyperglycaemia, neuronal cell death, and suppression of the immune and reproductive systems (Cyr and Romero, 2008).”
Stress in a conservation context: A discussion of glucocorticoid actions and how levels change with conservation-relevant variables (2009, background): “wheeled vehicle) (Creel et al., 2002).”
Reproductive failure of a human-tolerant species, the American kestrel, is associated with stress and human disturbance (2013, background): “For example, wolves Canis lupus (Creel et al. 2002) and capercaillie Tetrao urogallus (Thiel et al.”
Heavily hunted wolves have higher stress and reproductive steroids than wolves with lower hunting pressure (2015, background): “Although wolves may show a stress response to snowmobile activity (Creel et al. 2002), this possibility is unlikely to explain elevated stress and reproductive hormones in hair of tundra–taiga wolves because snowmobile use occurs mostly during a short (3-month) time period by relatively few (5–12) h”
Social dominance, aggression and faecal glucocorticoid levels in a wild population of wolves, Canis lupus (2004, positive): “If GC levels are affected by short-term changes in behaviour, then behavioural interactions on one day are likely to be correlated with faecal GC levels the next day, rather than faecal GC levels on the day of observation (as seen in elk: Creel et al. 2002).”
The Landscape of Fear: Ecological Implications of Being Afraid~!2009-09-09~!2009-11-16~!2010-02-02~! (2010, positive): “…in corticosteroid levels stimulated by nervous impulses (Boissy 1995, Korte 2001, Creel et al. 2002, Faure et al. 2003, Bonier et al. 2004), which increase with risk levels (Harlow et al. 1992, Boonstra 1998, Roy and Woolf 2001, Millspaugh et al. 2001, Cockrem and Silverin 2002, Creel et al. 2002).”
