- Abstract
The article discusses the glucocorticoids and climatic cues in the population of red deer in riparian areas. It discusses the impact of environmental challenges such as temperature, precipitations, and water level on the animal's annual pattern of secretions. An overview of the glucocorticoids production through the neuroendocrine system that reacts with physiological and behavioral changes is also provided.
