On the use of non‐invasive hormone research in uncontrolled, natural environments: the problem with sex, diet, metabolic rate and the individual
W Goymann - Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Methods to measure metabolites of steroid hormones from faeces have become very
popular in wildlife conservation and ecology, because they allow gathering physiological
data without the necessity to capture the animals. However, this advantage comes at costs
that are particularly relevant when studying free‐living animals in their natural environments.
Previous methodological reviews have stressed the importance of validations to prove that
real metabolites of the hormone in question are measured, but the research community has …
