Article Synopsis
- Small apes like gibbons and siamangs are monogamous and experience strong social bonds, making them sensitive to the loss of a group member, which can trigger stress.
- Glucocorticoids (GCs) are often used to measure stress, but combining them with dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS), a hormone that regulates stress responses, gives a clearer picture.
- Research involving two zoo-housed northern white-cheeked gibbons after a death in their group showed increased stress indicators in the adolescent male, highlighting the importance of measuring both FGCMs and DHEAS for understanding stress levels.
