Description: Stress proteins offer a measure of stress in birds at the cellular level that are an
alternative to the glucocorticoids. Stress proteins are not biased by handling stress, the
increase in stress proteins lasts longer than with other measures (e.g., corticosterone),
and, therefore, they may be a more appropriate measure of long-term or chronic stress.
However, caution should be practiced when… more

Description: The physiological condition of juvenile birds can be influenced by multiple ecological stressors, and few studies have
concurrently considered the effects of environmental contaminants in combination with ecological attributes that can
influence foraging conditions and prey availability. Using three temporally distinct indices of physiological condition, we
compared the physiological response… more
