Non-invasive methods to measure inter-renal function in aquatic salamanders—correlating fecal corticosterone to the environmental and physiologic conditions of captive Necturus

This study sought to develop non-invasive techniques to monitor glucocorticoids in captive Necturus as a means to correlate inter-renal gland function in relation to environmental and physiological changes. Six individually housed breeding pairs of captive Necturus beyeri were subjected to seasonal...
