This species is bred in managed care with the goal of reestablishing wild populations. However, individual ferrets in the conservation breeding programme have variable reproductive success. We monitored faecal steroid hormone metabolite profiles of 22 black-footed ferrets across two breeding seasons to examine whether endocrine factors were associated with successful reproduction. Among successfully whelping females, faecal progesterone metabolite concentrations were higher (<i>P</i> = 0.04) and faecal cortisol metabolite (FCM) concentrations were marginally higher (<i>P</i> = 0.07) in the late luteal phase compared to females who did not whelp (likely pseudopregnant). Effect sizes suggested that, in successfully whelping females, faecal oestradiol metabolite levels were higher in the follicular phase and FCM levels lower in the early luteal phase, but with high variation and lack of statistical significance. We speculate that this variation may be because male causes of reproductive failure account for some of these cases of pseudopregnancy. Among males, individuals that failed to successfully copulate had lower faecal testosterone metabolite concentrations than successful sires (<i>P</i> = 0.01). However, males who copulated but failed to sire a litter did not differ from successful sires in testosterone metabolite concentrations. Comparisons of sperm morphology between successful and unsuccessful sires were statistically underpowered, hence poor sperm quality could not be ruled out as a possible cause of these post-copulatory reproductive failures. Our data suggest that individuals who fail to reproduce in managed care are not experiencing chronic stress, based on FCM levels, although changes in females during the early luteal phase warrant further investigation. While male post-copulatory reproductive failure was not associated with deficiencies in sex hormone production, males that fail to copulate could potentially be targeted for testosterone supplementation.</p>","PeriodicalId":54331,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Physiology","volume":"13 1","pages":"coaf002"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11825693/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, action is taken against these factors once population collapses are underway. To avoid these <i>post hoc</i> responses, wildlife endocrinology aims to analyse physiological mediators that predict future population declines to inform wildlife management. Mediators typically investigated are stress hormones known as glucocorticoids, which are produced by the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Interrenal axis (HPI axis). The HPI axis is the part of the endocrine system that helps amphibians cope with stress. Chronic increases in glucocorticoids due to stress can lead to immune dysfunction, which makes amphibians more susceptible to infectious diseases. Despite this predictive potential of glucocorticoids, interpretation of glucocorticoid data is confounded by sampling design and type. Glucocorticoid monitoring classically involves blood sampling, which is not widely applicable in amphibians as some are too small or delicate to sample, and repeated samples are often valued. To address this, we tried to validate skin swabbing via corticosterone (CORT) and adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) injections in adults of two amphibian species: Eastern red-spotted newts, <i>Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens,</i> with natural skin infections with <i>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</i> (<i>Bd</i>) upon collection in the field, and Northern leopard frogs, <i>Rana (Lithobates) pipiens,</i> raised in captivity and naïve to <i>Bd</i> exposure. Further, we determined the predictive potential of skin glucocorticoids on <i>Bd</i> load in the field via correlations in Eastern red-spotted newts. We found that hormones present in the skin are not related to the HPI axis and poorly predict infection load; however, skin hormone levels strongly predicted survival in captivity. Although skin swabbing is not a valid method to monitor HPI axis function in these species, the hormones present in the skin still play important roles in organismal physiology under stressful conditions relevant to wildlife managers.</p>","PeriodicalId":54331,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Physiology","volume":"13 1","pages":"coaf005"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11821355/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lastly, plasma hormone concentrations were consistently correlated with their waterborne complements for CORT (both sexes), as well as TST and E<sub>2</sub> in males (but not females).

Measuring faecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM) in wildlife is of great value to measure the impact of human activities on local biodiversity because FGM offer a non-invasive way of measuring an animal's response to changes in its environment in the form of adrenocortical activity. Here, we measure the concentration of FGM in three native Australian mammal species belonging to different trophic levels: the Tasmanian devil (<i>Sarcophilus harrisii</i>) and the spotted-tailed quoll (<i>Dasyurus maculatus</i>), both carnivores, and an omnivore that is primarily an arboreal folivore, the brushtail possum (<i>Trichosurus vulpecula</i>), and compare the FGM concentrations across three major land uses: agricultural, plantation and National Parks. We find that land use influences the FGM concentration in all three species and that general patterns emerge in FGM concentrations across multiple species and trophic levels in relation to land use. Specifically, plantation landscapes are associated with the lowest median and range of variation of FGM concentration in all species with several plausible explanations depending on the species. Our results suggest that measuring FGM in multiple species can offer a time- and cost-efficient snapshot of how different animals experience the same environment, potentially simplifying FGM interpretation.
