A consensus endocrine profile for chronically stressed wild animals does not exist

Highlights • Review tries to define an “endocrine profile” of chronically stressed wild animals. • High variability in the literature suggests a generalized profile may not exist. • Chronic stress diagnosis may require multiple changes of glucocorticoid regulation. • Direction of change (increase/de...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Review tries to define an “endocrine profile” of chronically stressed wild animals. • High variability in the literature suggests a generalized profile may not exist. • Chronic stress diagnosis may require multiple changes of glucocorticoid regulation. • Direction of change (increase/decrease) may be less important than a change existing.
