• Review of factors influencing stress hormones in fish and wildlife (2013, result): “Non-significant relationships occurred between GCs and reproductive maturation (spermatogenesis, ovulation) and fecundity in three studies, a finding that echoes the conclusion of spurious links between GCs and fitness as reviewed in Bonier et al. (2009). Significant interactions occurred between re”
