Diet and nutrition comprise a complex, multi-faceted interface between animal biology and
food environments. With accumulating information on the many facets of this association …

Hormones have a key role in energy allocation, so their study allows understanding
individual metabolic strategies. Because different hormones convey different information on …

Generalist primates eat many food types and shift their diet with changes in food availability.
Variation in foods eaten may not, however, match variation in nutrient intake. We examined …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) mediate responses to energetic and psychosocial challenges and are
associated with behavioral adjustments that form part of an adaptive vertebrate stress …

Animals' foraging behavior and dietary choices are, in part, driven by their ultimate function:
to meet nutritional demands. However, depending on their degree of dietary specialization …

Many nonseasonally breeding mammals demonstrate some degree of synchrony in births,
which is generally associated with ecological factors that mediate fecundity. However …

Wildlife physiological responses to environmental and human-related stressors provide
useful clues on animal welfare. Non-invasive biomarkers, such as fecal glucocorticoid …

Identifying the factors swaying physiological stress levels in wild animals can help depict
how they cope with environmental and social stressors, shedding light on their feeding …

Animals make dietary choices to achieve adequate nutrient intake; however, it is challenging
to study such nutritional strategies in wild populations. We explored the nutritional strategy of …

Animals living in anthropogenically disturbed habitats are exposed to environmental
stressors which can trigger physiological reactions, such as chronic elevations of …
