SUMMARY
When examined, both intra- and inter-institutional transfers have been found to lead to considerable elevations in fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGM) concentrations in multiple species (e_g, Prionailurus viverinus, Varecia variegata, and Elephas maximus ). Habitat novelty has been successfully used as an experimental stressor to increase glucocorticoids in many biomedical studies (e_g, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus ). In inter-institutional transport studies, it is difficult to discern the direct cause of glucocorticoid spikes (e_g, was it novelty, handling, crate-time, etc., that caused the increased fGM levels) and these stressors are usually discussed holistically (see . . .
