1. The measurement of steroid hormone metabolites from faeces in wild animal populations is a powerful, non-invasive tool in behavioural endocrinology of all major vertebrate taxa. However, because su
1. Non-invasive faecal cortisol metabolite (FCM) analysis is a well-established tool to quantify stress in captive and free-ranging species. While the method has great potential, its suitability in fi
The development of non-invasive methods, particularly fecal determination, has made possible the assessment of hormone concentrations in wild animal populations. However, measuring fecal metabolites n
The HormoneBase database contains compiled measures of steroid hormone levels (androgens and glucocorticoids) from free-living populations of vertebrates to facilitate large-scale comparative analyses
Sesquiterpenoids juvenile hormones (JH) are major hormones that regulate the developmental and reproductive processes in insects. In non-insect arthropods, methyl farnesoate (MF) is generally regarded
