Instability of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites at 4°C: Time to freeze matters

Jeffrey Carbillet et al.

Summary: The use of fecal corticosteroid metabolites (FCMs) is suitable for assessing adrenocortical activity in wildlife. However, sample preservation and storage can affect FCM stability and result interpretations. It is generally acceptable to temporarily store samples at low above-zero temperature before freezing them. This study found that storing feces at +4 degrees C for 24 h and 48 h before freezing resulted in a decrease in FCM levels over time.

Developing welfare parameters for African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in fenced reserves in South Africa

Marion E. Garai et al.

Summary: This study is the first attempt to define behavioral and physiological welfare parameters for free-ranging elephants in fenced reserves in South Africa. The study found that history, age, sex, reserve size, and season contribute to the welfare indices and physiological responses of elephants.
