Journal ArticleDOI
A generalized fecal glucocorticoid assay for use in a diverse array of nondomestic mammalian and avian species.
Samuel K. Wasser,Kathleen E. Hunt,Janine L. Brown,Kathy Cooper,Carolyn M. Crockett,Ursula Bechert,Joshua J. Millspaugh,Shawn Larson,Steven L. Monfort +8 more
TL;DR: Fecal glucocorticoid assays reliably detect endogenous changes in adrenal activity of a diverse array of species and, where comparisons were made, the ICN corticosterone antibody generally was superior to other antibodies for measuring glucoc Corticoid metabolites in feces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive and genetic consequences of founding isolated lion populations
David E. Wildt,Mitchell Bush,K. L. Goodrowe,Craig Packer,Anne E. Pusey,Anne E. Pusey,Janine L. Brown,Janine L. Brown,P. Joslin,Stephen J. O'Brien,Stephen J. O'Brien +10 more
TL;DR: In an examination of three distinct lion populations, a direct correlation was observed between genetic variability and two physiological traits, incidence of abnormal sperm and circulating testosterone, a critical hormone for spermatogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative aspects of steroid hormone metabolism and ovarian activity in felids measured noninvasively in feces
Janine L. Brown,Samuel K. Wasser,Samuel K. Wasser,David E. Wildt,Laura H. Graham,Laura H. Graham +5 more
TL;DR: Noninvasive fecal assays were used to study steroid metabolism and ovarian activity in several felid species and indicated that steroid metabolism mechanisms appear to be conserved among these physically diverse, taxonomically related species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive assessment of adrenal activity associated with husbandry and behavioral factors in the North American clouded leopard population
TL;DR: Results indicate that noninvasive fecal corticoid monitoring has enormous potential for investigating how management and behavioral problems are related to animal well-being, and if conducted under carefully controlled experimental paradigms could allow researchers and managers to identify problem areas of captive management for clouded leopards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral and physiological correlates of stress in laboratory cats
TL;DR: It is indicated that qualitatively poor caretaking is a potent psychological stressor for confined cats that may eventually compromise reproduction through behavioral or physiological mechanisms and, therefore, caged cats should be provided with appropriate places for concealment.
