A number of studies have recently investigated personality traits in non-human species, with the dog gaining popularity as a subject species for research in this area. Recent research has shown the consistency of personality traits across both context and time for adult dogs, both when using questionnaire based methods of investigation and behavioural analyses of the dogs' behaviour. However, only a few studies have assessed the correspondence between these two methods, with results varying considerably across studies.

- - The study examined the welfare of three groups of cotton-top tamarins in different zoos, focusing on behavioral observations and hormone levels over one year.
- - Researchers found no significant differences in fecal cortisol across the groups, but testosterone and progesterone levels varied by sex and age, indicating hormone influence on behavior.
- - The investigation revealed a strong link between hormone levels and environmental factors, like exhibit space, along with notable variations in social behaviors among the tamarin groups, showing that hormones like cortisol and testosterone play a role in their actions.
The purpose of this work was to perform a preliminary screening in the domestic cat to assess the concentration of cortisol in hairs by radioimmunoassay technique (RIA) in presence or absence of Microsporum canis infections. A total of 245 cats (7 with cutaneous lesions referable to dermatophytosis and 238 apparently healthy) coming from 14 shelters were examined. M.

Background: Measurement of hair cortisol is a noninvasive technique used for several purposes in humans and in animals.
Objectives: To measure hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in dogs with spontaneous hypercortisolism (HC) and determine whether it can represent a useful diagnostic test for this syndrome.
Animals: Twenty-two dogs with spontaneous HC before treatment, 28 sick control dogs (SCD), and 40 healthy dogs.
