Shyness–Boldness, but not Exploration, Predicts Glucocorticoid Stress Response in Richardson's Ground Squirrels (Urocitellus richardsonii)
The relationship between stress and personality has often been studied using captive
animals in a laboratory context, yet less often in wild populations. Wild populations …
