Faecal cortisol metabolites to assess stress in wildlife: evaluation of a field method in free‐ranging chamois

Summary Non‐invasive faecal cortisol metabolite (FCM) analysis is a well‐established tool to quantify stress in captive and free‐ranging species. While the method has great potential, its suitability in field studies might be limited when faecal samples from unknown individuals are used. Possible fa...
