When can we measure stress noninvasively? Postdeposition effects on a fecal stress metric confound a multiregional assessment

Measurement of stress hormone metabolites in fecal samples has become a common method to assess physiological stress in wildlife populations. Glucocorticoid metabolite (GCM) measurements can be collected noninvasively, and studies relating this stress metric to anthropogenic disturbance are increasi...
