Early maternal loss leads to short- but not long-term effects on diurnal cortisol slopes in wild chimpanzees

Early maternal loss leads to short- but not long-term effects on diurnal cortisol slopes in wild chimpanzees

The biological embedding model (BEM) suggests that fitness costs of maternal loss arise when early-life experience embeds long-term alterations to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Alternatively, the adaptive calibration model (ACM) regards physiological changes during ontogeny as...
