Variability of Hormonal Stress Markers and Stress Responses in a Large Cross-Sectional Sample of Elephant Seals
Physiological indicators of stress in wild marine mammals, the interrelationships between different stress markers and assessment of the biological effects of stress can be used to estimate the impact of anthropogenic stressors on marine mammal populations. Currently, there are no large cross-sectio...
