Concentration of fecal cortisol metabolites in chamois in relation to tourist pressure in Tatra National Park (South Poland) (2013, background): “…in fecal, feather, or hair samples have been proven to accurately reflect the levels of these hormones in the plasma (Bortolotti et al. 2008; MacBeth et al. 2010; Sheriff et al. 2010) and are becoming more popular in conservation (see reviews byWikelski and Cooke 2006; Busch and Hayward…”
Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, unknown): “However, there is no clear pattern in either short-term or long-term stress responses among brown bears of different sexes or ages in relation to human activities (von der Ohe et al. 2004, Macbeth et al. 2010).”
Hair cortisol as a biological marker of chronic stress: current status, future directions and unanswered questions. (2012, background): “In grizzly bears, hair cortisol content was affected by body hair type (with lowest hair cortisol variability for guard hair), body region and capture method (Macbeth et al., 2010).”
Heavily hunted wolves have higher stress and reproductive steroids than wolves with lower hunting pressure (2015, methodology): “(Macbeth et al. 2010; Terwissen, Mastromonaco & Murray 2013), a directional bias among populations is unlikely.”
