Analyses of fecal and hair glucocorticoids to evaluate short- and long-term stress and recovery of Asiatic black bears ( Ursus thibetanus ) removed from bile farms in China

Highlights ► Stress, as indicated by hair glucocorticoids was higher in bears on bile farms. ► Glucocorticoid levels in hair from farmed bears decreased after removal from farms. ► Concentrations of corticoids differed between segments of divided hair shafts. ► Concentrations of fecal glucocorticoid...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► Stress, as indicated by hair glucocorticoids was higher in bears on bile farms. ► Glucocorticoid levels in hair from farmed bears decreased after removal from farms. ► Concentrations of corticoids differed between segments of divided hair shafts. ► Concentrations of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites decreased from spring to winter.
