The king of stress? Exploring the physiological resilience and resistance of adult king penguins to chronic glucocorticoid exposure

To better understand how animals cope with increasingly variable and challenging environments, there is a need to study how prolonged exposure to elevated glucocorticoid hormones (i.e.

To better understand how animals cope with increasingly variable and challenging environments, there is a need to study how prolonged exposure to elevated glucocorticoid hormones (i.e. one mediator of the stress response) affects their physiology. While glucocorticoid elevation…
