During the past two decades, techniques for faecal steroid analysis have been developed
and have been used for research with mammalian, bird and, to a lesser extent, reptile …

Conventionally, plasma or milk progesterone evaluations are used to determine the
reproductive status of female animals. Collection of such samples is often associated with …

Adolescence is a period of continuous development, including the maturation of
endogenous rhythms across systems and timescales. Although, these dynamic changes are …

Non-invasive techniques such as the measurement of fecal steroids are now widely used to

This study evaluated the reproductive effects of fluoxetine exposure in utero and during
lactation on pregnancy outcomes and the sexual development of offspring. Pregnant W istar …

We verified the relevance of measuring fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM) to assess the
stress response of the Syrian hamster. Male and female hamsters (n= 10 each) were …

In many mammal species, reproduction is not shared equally among the members of a
social unit. Even though reproductive skew seems unlikely in females of solitary species, this …

Although analyzing reproductive hormones provides insight into reproduction, reproductive
endocrinology remains understudied in most free-ranging organisms due to difficulties …

Living organisms have regular patterns and routines that involve obtaining food and carrying
out life-history stages such as breeding, migrating, molting and hibernating. The acquisition …

Noninvasive techniques to monitor reproductive or stress hormones are now widely used in
captive and free-ranging wildlife. These methods offer great advantages and deserve to be …
