Abstract: The effect of human activities on animal populations is widely debated, particularly since a recent decision by the U.S. Department of the Interior to ban snowmobiles from national parks. Immunoassays of fecal glucocorticoid levels provide a sensitive and noninvasive method of measuring the physiological stress responses of wildlife to disturbances. We tested for associations between snowmobile activity and glucocorticoid levels in an elk (Cervus elaphus) population in Yellowstone…

Stress-Hormone Levels of Wolves in Relation to Breeding Season, Pack Size, Human Activity, and Prey Density
TLDR
It is concluded that human activity is only one of several factors contributing to stress in wolves and that intraspecific competition during breeding is likely to cause elevated levels of glucocorticoids.
Roads and urban areas as physiological stressors of spiny-tailed lizards, Uromastyx acanthinura
HUMAN DISTURBANCE AND THE PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF ELK IN EASTERN WASHINGTON
TLDR
The findings suggest that in this environment, humans were a dominant stressor influencing FGM levels, suggesting that interpreting results of physiological studies requires that researchers account for a broad combination of biotic and abiotic stressors at a particular study location.
Heavily hunted wolves have higher stress and reproductive steroids than wolves with lower hunting pressure
TLDR
The findings support the social and physiological consequences of human-caused mortality and long-term implications of altered physiological responses should be considered in management and conservations strategies.
Environmental and Intrinsic Correlates of Stress in Free-Ranging Wolves
TLDR
The results suggest that breeding pair permanency and the loss of pack members through processes different from dispersal may importantly impact stress levels in wolves, and that FCM concentrations are associated with endoparasitic infections of individuals.

Fecal Glucocorticoid Levels of Endangered San Joaquin Kit Foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) in Natural and Urban Habitats
TLDR
Stress responses based on GC levels indicated that foxes in both natural and urban habitats are habituated to the primary stressors in each habitat, thereby mitigating chronic stress.
Fecal glucocorticoids reflect socio-ecological and anthropogenic stressors in the lives of wild spotted hyenas
Glucocorticoid response to changes in enclosure size and human proximity in the Persian onager (Equus hemionus onager)
TLDR
Results demonstrate an acute increase in GC secretion in Persian onagers that moved from large to small enclosures coincident with increased human activities, suggesting that this rare equid has retained mechanisms to acclimate to marked alterations in an ex situ environment.

RESPONSES OF MULE DEER TO DISTURBANCE BY PERSONS AFOOT AND SNOWMOBILES
TLDR
The objectives were to compare overt behavioral responses of adult female mule deer reacting to persons afoot or snowmobiles during controlled disturbance trials and to monitor survival and fecundity of these deer.
Noninvasive Physiological Measures of Disturbance in the Northern Spotted Owl
TLDR
It is demonstrated that noninvasive hormone measurements of physiological stress in feces could provide an objective, readily accessible and cost effective means of quantifying impacts of disturbance in Northern Spotted Owls that can directly address pivotal conservation questions surrounding this and other listed species.

Purine Derivatives in Snow-Urine as a Dietary Index for Free-Ranging Elk
TLDR
It is suggested that urinary A: C ratios derived from snow-urine samples may be a useful noninvasive dietary index for free-ranging ruminants, however, additional research is required to fully assess its utility.
Factors influencing heart rate in free-ranging bighorn sheep: a physiological approach to the study of wildlife harassment
TLDR
The telemetered heart rates of unrestrained female bighorn sheep were recorded under various behavioral and environmental circumstances and in all ewes HR varied positively with activity level and inversely with distance to a road traversing the study area.

Alternative approaches to aerial censusing of elk
TLDR
Estimation of total numbers by simulations using the Petersen method and by using field data collected on the Madison-Firehole Elk Herd of Yellowstone National Park indicated the Petersen estimate may provide a suitable alternative method.
Excreted steroids in primate feces over the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
TLDR
Measurements of excreted steroids provide a valid, noninvasive measure of physiological state of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis among free-ranging animals in the field and suggest that effects of dietary fiber on steroid hormone levels are minimal when controlled quantitatively by adjusting for water content of the fecal sample.
