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 …

Traits vary in their ability to recover from stressors and is dependent on the magnitude,
duration, or type of stressor. One such stressor is circadian rhythm disruption stemming from …

This study assessed the contributions of urban green spaces on mental health with joint
consideration of people's physiological and psychological responses. The psychological …

Variation in stress responses has been investigated in relation to environmental factors,
species ecology, life history and fitness. Moreover, mechanistic studies have unravelled …

Researchers have long sought to understand and predict an animal's response to stressful
stimuli. Since the introduction of the concept of homeostasis, a variety of model frameworks …

One of the biggest unanswered questions in the field of stress physiology is whether
variation in chronic stress intensity will produce proportional (a gradient or graded) …

The reactive scope model was created to address two major unanswered questions in stress
physiology: how and when does the adaptive acute stress response turn into harmful …

One aspect of the Reactive Scope Model is wear-and-tear, which describes a decrease in
an animal's ability to cope with a stressor, typically because of a period of chronic or …

Despite the widely used application of standardized capture-handling protocols to collect
blood and assess the physiological stress response, the actual sampling design (eg, timing …

Avian models have the potential to elucidate basic cellular and molecular mechanisms
underlying the slow aging rates and exceptional longevity typical of this group of vertebrates …
