Behavioral and physiological conflicts in migrants: the transition between migration and breeding (2006, background): “Nonetheless, the potential for overlap of the developmental phase of one life history stage with mature capability of another provides flexibility to more finely tune adjustments to variable environmental conditions (Wingfield and Jacobs 1999; Wingfield 2005 ).”
Noise negatively affects foraging and antipredator behaviour in shore crabs (2013, background): “Stressful events, for example, can lead to changes in the intensity, duration or frequency of particular activities as part of an allostatic response (Broom & Johnson 1993; McEwen & Wingfield 2003; Wingfield 2005).”
The Effect of Capture on Ranging Behaviour and Activity of the European Roe Deer Capreolus capreolus (2009, background): “This state, also called emergency life history stage, may involve several behaviours such as a fight or flight response, sickness behaviour and fever, and specific behavioural strategies such as seeking a refuge and waiting before returning (see also Wingfield 2005).”
STRESS IN FREE-RANGING MAMMALS: INTEGRATING PHYSIOLOGY, ECOLOGY, AND NATURAL HISTORY (2005, background): “This theory has motivated much work on the mechanisms underlying aging and fits well within the framework of allostatic load (McEwen 2002; McEwen and Wingfield 2003; Wingfield 2005).”
Inter-annual variability in the home range of breeding turtles: implications for current and future conservation management. (2010, background): “In the second scenario, increased variability in barometric pressure may no longer serve as a reliable cue, hence females might benefit by suppressing the dispersal response (Wingfield, 2005), thus reducing stress and conserving vital energy as soon as the conditions become optimal in June.”
Stress in Yucatan spider monkeys: effects of environmental conditions on fecal cortisol levels in wild and captive populations (2009, background): “Environmental perturbations such as ecological or social events disrupt homeostasis (Reeder & Kramer, 2005), promoting immediate physiological adjustments to cope with such stimuli (Wingfield, 2005).”
Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, unknown): “This finding may explain the similarities in corticosterone levels because an animal’s behavior can influence its physiological condition through allostasis – achieving physiological stability through behavioral change (McEwen and Wingfield, 2003; Wingfield, 2005).”
Maternal adversity and ecological stressors in natural populations: the role of stress axis programming in individuals, with implications for populations and communities (2013, background): “Functional Ecology © 2012 British Ecological Society hypthothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (‘stress’) axis across vertebrate taxa underscores the biological importance of optimal GC management (Boonstra 2005; Wingfield 2005; Breuner, Patterson & Hahn 2008).”
EQUIPPED FOR LIFE: THE ADAPTIVE ROLE OF THE STRESS AXIS IN MALE MAMMALS (2005, unknown): “This modulation has been referred to as allostasis (i.e., achieving stability through change—McEwen and Wingfield 2003; Wingfield 2005).”
Effects of forest fragmentation on the physiological stress response of black howler monkeys (2007, background): “However, environmental perturbations such as ecological events (e.g. storms, predator attacks) or social events (e.g. changes in the social hierarchy) disrupt homeostasis (Reeder & Kramer, 2005), promoting immediate physiological or behavioural adjustments to cope with the problem (Wingfield, 2005).”
Correlated behaviour and stress physiology in fish exposed to different levels of predation pressure (2012, background): “Natural selection should favour individuals that alter their physiology and behaviour in response to environmental challenges (Wingfield 2005; Romero, Dickens & Cyr 2009), adjustments collectively termed the stress response.”
