On the use of non‐invasive hormone research in uncontrolled, natural environments: the problem with sex, diet, metabolic rate and the individual (2012, background): “…dealt with in the literature (Goymann 2005; Möstl, Rettenbacher & Palme 2005; Palme 2005; Touma & Palme 2005; Wielebnowski & Watters 2007; Scott et al. 2008; Sheriff, Krebs & Boonstra 2010; Sheriff et al. 2011), but unfortunately, papers without these essential validations continue to…”
Correlated behaviour and stress physiology in fish exposed to different levels of predation pressure (2012, methodology): “Hormones were collected from fish holding water, a technique that allows hormone quantification from fish that are too small to take non-terminal blood samples (Scott et al. 2008) and that can itself act as a mild stressor (Wong et al. 2008).”
Measuring stress in wildlife: techniques for quantifying glucocorticoids (2011, methodology): “This technique has recently been reviewed and evaluated (Scott et al. 2008), so we will not dwell on the methods and practical implications.”
