A review of what abnormal repetitive behavior tells us about zoo animal management (2017, background): “Typical indictors of stress include behavioral inhibition and reduced behavioral complexity, heightened vigilance, hiding, aggression, decreased exploratory behavior, and hyperactivity and/or hypoactivity (Morgan and Tromborg, 2007; Warwick et al., 2013).”

• Natural behavioural biology as a risk factor in carnivore welfare: How analysing species differences could help zoos improve enclosures § (2007, background): “Many aspects of rearing and husbandry are known to affect captive animals’ behaviour and welfare (see e.g. Mason et al., 2007 and Morgan and Tromborg, 2007).”
• Why and how should we use environmental enrichment to tackle stereotypic behaviour (2007, background): “In addition, stereotypic behaviours may co-vary with other signs of stress and disturbance (e.g. the various indices reviewed by Clubb and Mason, 2007; Morgan and Tromborg, 2007; and Tarlow and Blumstein, 2007).”
• Number of nearby visitors and noise level affect vigilance in captive koalas (2014, background): “However, in most cases, the forced proximty to humans in zoos could be a source of fear and stress or species that rarely come into contact with humans in heir natural environment (Morgan and Tromborg, 2007).”
• Effect of noise on performance, stress, and behaviour of animals. (2014, background): “�ts prolonged activation is correlated with increased activity in the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal system, elevated metabolic rates, increased blood pressure, and tachycardia (Ames, 1978; Morgan and Tromborg, 2007).”
• What are you actually measuring? A review of techniques that integrate the stress response on distinct time‐scales (2020, background): “The proportion of time spent displaying vigilance behaviours is associated with both short- and long-term stressors (reviewed in Morgan & Tromborg, 2007); specifically, factors such as capture methods (Arzamendia, Bonacic, & Vilá, 2010), group size, and habitat characteristics can influence…”

(2007, background): “For example, incompatible social groups, lack of space, and lack of appropriate stimuli are all potential sources of frustration (for a review see Morgan and Tromberg, 2006), which captive animals may not have the ability to resolve. While efforts to eliminate frustration from the lives of captive a”
