Non-invasive stress and nutritional hormones and their interactions are increasingly being used to monitor psychological and nutritional physiology in free-ranging animals at different ecological scales. However, a number of extrinsic and intrinsic factors including hormone-inert dietary materials, inorganic matters etc. are known to affect accurate hormone measures. Here we addressed the impacts of inorganic matter (IOM) on corticosterone and T3 measures in wild tiger (n=193 from Terai Arc landscape, India) and captive lion (n=120 from Sakkarbaug Zoological Garden, Gujarat, India) faeces and evaluated possible corrective measures. The wild tiger samples contained highly variable IOM content (9-98%, mostly with >40% IOM) compared to captive Asiatic lion (17-57%, majority with <40% IOM). We observed significant negative correlation between IOM content and tiger GC (r=-0.48, p=0.000) and T3 (r=-0.60, p=0.000) measures but not in captive lions (r= -0.05, p=0.579). Two corrective measures viz. removing samples with ≥80% IOM and subsequently expressing concentrations as per gram of organic dry matter (instead of total dry matter) reduced IOM influence on tiger GC and T3 measures without affecting lion GC results. The corrective measures bring out alterations in the tiger T3 results but no changes in GC results. As faecal IOM content is associated with specific behaviours of many carnivore species, our results emphasize the need to reduce IOM-driven hormone data variation for ecologically relevant interpretations for species conservation.

粪便中无机物含量对大型猫科动物压力和营养激素的准确测量的影响:对放养动物生理评估的意义

非侵入性压力和营养激素及其相互作用正越来越多地用于监测不同生态规模的自由放养动物的心理和营养生理。但是,已知许多外在和内在因素(包括激素惰性饮食材料,无机物等)都会影响准确的激素测量。在这里,我们探讨了无机物(IOM)对野生老虎(印度Terai Arc风景区的n = 193)和圈养狮子(印度古吉拉特邦Sakkarbaug动物学园的n = 120)粪便中皮质酮和T3措施的影响,并评估了可能的影响纠正措施。与圈养亚洲狮(17-57%,多数IOM <40%)相比,野生虎样品的IOM含量变化很大(9-98%,多数为> 40%IOM)。我们观察到IOM含量与Tiger GC(r = -0.48,p = 0.000)和T3(r = -0.60,p = 0.000)度量之间显着负相关,但在圈养狮子中却无显着负相关(r = -0.05,p = 0.579)。两种纠正措施,即。去除IOM≥80%的样品,然后以每克有机干物质(而不是总干物质)表示的浓度降低IOM对老虎GC和T3措施的影响,而不会影响狮子GC结果。纠正措施带来了老虎T3结果的变化,但GC结果没有变化。由于粪便中IOM的含量与许多食肉动物物种的特定行为有关,因此我们的研究结果强调,有必要减少IOM驱动的激素数据变异,以保护物种的生态学相关解释。000)的措施,但不对圈养的狮子采取措施(r = -0.05,p = 0.579)。两种纠正措施,即。去除IOM≥80%的样品,然后以每克有机干物质(而不是总干物质)表示的浓度降低IOM对老虎GC和T3措施的影响,而不会影响狮子GC结果。纠正措施带来了老虎T3结果的变化,但GC结果没有变化。由于粪便中IOM的含量与许多食肉动物物种的特定行为有关,因此我们的研究结果强调,有必要减少IOM驱动的激素数据变异,以保护物种的生态学相关解释。000)的措施,但不对圈养的狮子采取措施(r = -0.05,p = 0.579)。两种纠正措施,即。去除IOM≥80%的样品,然后以每克有机干物质(而不是总干物质)表示的浓度降低IOM对老虎GC和T3措施的影响,而不会影响狮子GC结果。纠正措施带来了老虎T3结果的变化,但GC结果没有变化。由于粪便中IOM的含量与许多食肉动物物种的特定行为有关,因此我们的研究结果强调,有必要减少IOM驱动的激素数据变异,以保护物种的生态学相关解释。去除IOM≥80%的样品,然后以每克有机干物质(而不是总干物质)表示的浓度降低IOM对老虎GC和T3措施的影响,而不会影响狮子GC结果。纠正措施带来了老虎T3结果的变化,但GC结果没有变化。由于粪便中IOM的含量与许多食肉动物物种的特定行为有关,因此我们的研究结果强调,有必要减少IOM驱动的激素数据变异,以保护物种的生态学相关解释。去除IOM≥80%的样品,然后以每克有机干物质(而不是总干物质)表示的浓度降低IOM对老虎GC和T3措施的影响,而不会影响狮子GC结果。纠正措施带来了老虎T3结果的变化,但GC结果没有变化。由于粪便中IOM的含量与许多食肉动物物种的特定行为有关,因此我们的研究结果强调,有必要减少IOM驱动的激素数据变异,以保护物种的生态学相关解释。
