The utility of Ki-67 and BrdU as proliferative markers of adult neurogenesis. (2002, methodology): “…in such studies of neurogenesis will be to establish the effects of various stimuli on cell proliferation in other species, particularly those living in natural conditions and participating in natural behaviours such as finding and storing of food, finding mates etc. (Boonstra et al., 2001a).”
REPRODUCTION AT ALL COSTS: THE ADAPTIVE STRESS RESPONSE OF MALE ARCTIC GROUND SQUIRRELS (2001, background): “…May, either instantaneously (by shooting) or after the squirrels were stressed by trapping and handling, T levels were significantly lower in shot samples (9.65 ( 2.25 ng/mL, N & 10) than in trapped and handled ones (14.20 ( 0.92 ng/mL, N & 48) (F & 6.6, df 1, 56, P & 0.01) (Boonstra et al. 2001).”
Measuring stress in wildlife: techniques for quantifying glucocorticoids (2011, background): “There are now numerous wildlife studies showing that plasma GC levels increase significantly after 2–5 min from capture (e.g., Boonstra and Singleton 1993; Cash et al. 1997; Place and Kenagy 2000; Boonstra et al. 2001; Romero and Reed 2005; Mueller et al. 2006; Wada et al. 2007; Romero et al. 2008).”
Physiological stress in ecology: lessons from biomedical research. (2004, background): “time [61]; (ii) controlling for social status [26], age [61], or season [ 62 ]; (iii) verifying ability to release GCs by injecting”
STRESS IN FREE-RANGING MAMMALS: INTEGRATING PHYSIOLOGY, ECOLOGY, AND NATURAL HISTORY (2005, background): “For example, female arctic ground squirrels responded to a stressor with a 12-fold increase whereas plasma cortisol increased only 4-fold in males (Boonstra et al. 2001).”
Why are Arctic ground squirrels more stressed in the boreal forest than in alpine meadows? (2001, background): “The intense chronic stress of mating activity in male Arctic ground squirrels in spring is also associated with a 6% decline in hematocrit relative to adult nonbreeding males (Boonstra et al., 2001).”
Monitoring stress in captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca): behavioral and hormonal responses to ambient noise (2004, background): “Baseline corticoid levels and the pituitary-adrenal response to stress often vary in mammals depending on reproductive status [e.g., Boonstra et al., 2001; Romero, 2002].”
