Identification of Koala (<i>Phascolarctos cinereus</i>) Faecal Cortisol Metabolites Using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Enzyme Immunoassays

Identification of Koala (<i>Phascolarctos cinereus</i>) Faecal Cortisol Metabolites Using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Enzyme Immunoassays

The koala (<i>Phascolarctos cinereus</i>) is an arboreal folivorous marsupial endemic to Australia. Anthropogenic activities and climate change are threats to this species’ survival and are potential stressors. A suitable non-invasive method is needed to objectively detect stress in koal...
