The social transmission of stress in animal collectives
The stress systems are powerful mediators between the organism's systemic dynamic
equilibrium and changes in its environment beyond the level of anticipated fluctuations. Over …

Telomere attrition: metabolic regulation and signalling function?
Stress exposure can leave long-term footprints within the organism, like in telomeres (TLs),
protective chromosome caps that shorten during cell replication and following exposure to …

Macroevolutionary patterning in glucocorticoids suggests different selective pressures shape baseline and stress-induced levels
Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones are important phenotypic mediators across vertebrates, but
their circulating concentrations can vary markedly. Here we investigate macroevolutionary …

Bisphenols impact hormone levels in animals: A meta-analysis
Bisphenols are used in the manufacture of plastics and are endocrine disrupting compounds
detectable in free living organisms and environments globally. The original bisphenol …

On again, off again: acute stress response and negative feedback together predict resilience to experimental challenges
Individuals often vary markedly in their ability to cope with stressors, but the drivers of this
variation remain poorly understood. Many studies have tested relationships among …

Understanding context dependence in glucocorticoid–fitness relationships: the role of the nature of the challenge, the intensity and frequency of stressors, and life …
It has been well-established that there is variation in the strength and direction of the
relationship between circulating glucocorticoids (GCs) and fitness. When studies …

Integrating theoretical and empirical approaches for a robust understanding of endocrine flexibility
There is growing interest in studying hormones beyond single 'snapshot'measurements, as
recognition that individual variation in the endocrine response to environmental change may …

Does variation in glucocorticoid concentrations predict fitness? A phylogenetic meta-analysis
Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are central mediators of metabolism and the response to
challenges. Because circulating GC levels increase in response to challenges, within …

[HTML][HTML] Stressed tadpoles mount more efficient glucocorticoid negative feedback in anthropogenic habitats due to phenotypic plasticity
Co** with anthropogenic environmental change is among the greatest challenges faced
by wildlife, and endocrine flexibility is a potentially crucial co** mechanism. Animals may …

The lingering impact of stress: brief acute glucocorticoid exposure has sustained, dose-dependent effects on reproduction
Acutely stressful experiences can have profound and persistent effects on phenotype.
Across taxa, individuals differ remarkably in their susceptibility to stress. However, the …
