A novel field method for preserving African lion (Panthera leo) fecal samples for noninvasive hormone metabolite analysis,

The traditional methods of preserving fecal samples to suspend hormone-degrading bacteria are not always options during remote fieldwork when studying wildlife endocrinology. Our goal was to develop a field method for preserving African lion (Panthera leo) feces for hormone metabolite analysis by de...
