...Chronic or long-term increases in glucocorticoid levels, however, are widely touted as having detrimental effects, though the evidence comes largely from biomedical studies in humans or laboratory animals (Romero, 2004; Korte et al., 2005; Boonstra, 2013)....

...Some have questioned whether type II allostasic overload ever occurs in nature or whether it is strictly a laboratory phenomenon (Boonstra, 2013), but putting these specific issues aside, the concept of allostatic load focuses us on the key issue of the costs of mounting a response to an environmental change, and the importance of distinguishing between responses that are beneficial, those that may impose a significant cost and those that may actually cause harm....

...Much of this confusion may stem from the fact that stress research has developed relatively independently across several fields of biology, with substantial gulfs between those interested in stress from a biomedical perspective and those interested in the effects of stressors in natural populations (Bijlsma and Loeschcke, 2005; Boonstra, 2013)....
