Stress physiology in marine mammals: how well do they fit the terrestrial model?
Stressors are commonly accepted as the causal factors, either internal or external, that
evoke physiological responses to mediate the impact of the stressor. The majority of …

Applications for non-invasive thyroid hormone measurements in mammalian ecology, growth, and maintenance
Thyroid hormones (THs) play a pivotal role in the regulation of metabolic activity throughout
all life stages. Cross-talk with other hormone systems permits THs to coordinate metabolic …

Adrenal sensitivity to stress is maintained despite variation in baseline glucocorticoids in moulting seals
Stressful disturbances activate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and result in
the release of glucocorticoid (GC) hormones. This characteristic stress response supports …
