Social support correlates with glucocorticoid concentrations in wild African elephant orphans
Social relationships have physiological impacts. Here, we investigate whether loss of the
mother/offspring relationship has lasting effects on fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) …

[PDF][PDF] Divergent age-related changes in parasite infection occur independently of behaviour and demography in a wild ungulate
As animals age they exhibit a suite of phenotypic changes, often including reductions in
movement and 14 social behaviour (“behavioural ageing”). By altering an individual's …
