   Summary

   While numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of captivity on other classes of vertebrates, very few studies have investigated the effects of captivity and its related stresses on amphibians. Chronic stress results in elevated levels of corticosterone (CORT) released from the adrenocortical cells, which in turn result in hyperglycemia, anorexia, and changes in behavior.

   PhD Student Gale Cleven's got his research and he's got his routines and no time for the fella working construction on his house who seems very, very determined to make friends.
