Small Mammal Glucocorticoid Concentrations vary with Forest Fragment Size, Trap Type, and Mammal Taxa in the Interior Atlantic Forest
Species that live in degraded habitats often show signs of physiological stress. Glucocorticoid hormones (e.g., corticosterone and cortisol) are often assessed as a proxy of the extent of physiological stress an animal has experienced. Our goal was to quantify glucocorticoids in free-ranging small mammals in fragments of Interior Atlantic Forest.
