Qiviut cortisol in muskoxen as a potential tool for informing conservation strategies

Muskoxen are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors that may impact their health and fitness. We measured stress hormones in their qiviut (wooly undercoat), and found differences across seasons, years and between sexes. Qiviut cortisol is a promising tool for guiding muskox conservation in a rap...
