Validation of complementary non-invasive tools for stress assessment in spotted paca (Cuniculus paca)
Monitoring the concentration of glucocorticoid metabolites (GCMs) in faecal samples is a non-invasive tool for physiological stress evaluation, particularly useful when studying wild species. However, both negative and positive stimuli (distress and eustress, respectively) can lead to a rise in gluc...
