The field of stress physiology has rapidly expanded, particularly in those fields interested in
identifying chronic stress in wild animals. Despite this expansion, stress remains difficult to …

As an extension of the classic life history theory, the recently highlighted pace-of-life
syndrome hypothesis predicts the coevolution of behavioral, physiological and life-history …

As cities continue to grow it is increasingly important to understand the long-term responses
of wildlife to urban environments. There have been increased efforts to determine whether …

Stressors associated with urban habitats have been linked to poor wildlife health but
whether a general negative relationship between urbanization and animal health can be …

Urban environments are evolutionarily novel and differ from natural environments in many
respects including food and/or water availability, predation, noise, light, air quality …

Urbanisation is a world‐wide phenomenon converting natural habitats into new artificial
ones. Environmental conditions associated with urbanisation represent great challenges for …

Habitat development may affect wildlife behaviour, favouring individuals or behaviours that
cope better with perceived threats (predators). Bolder behaviours in human‐dominated …

Environmental change associated with urbanization is considered one of the major threats
to biodiversity. Some species nevertheless seem to thrive in the urban areas, probably …

Theoretical studies predict that parasitic infection may impact host longevity and ultimately
modify the trade-off between reproduction and survival. Indeed, a host may adjust its energy …

The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is responsible for the regulation of
corticosterone, a hormone that is essential in the mediation of energy allocation and …
