The Ecology of Stress: linking life-history traits with physiological control mechanisms in free-living guanacos
Background Providing the context for the evolution of life-history traits, habitat features constrain successful ecological and physiological strategies. In vertebrates, a key response to life’s challenges is the activation of the Stress (HPA) and Gonadal (HPG) axes. Much of the interest in stress e...
