Following the last deglaciation in the North Atlantic, DNA evidence shows Betulaceae colonization was consistently delayed compared to Salicaceae, which may serve as an analog for modern global warming.
High-throughput systemic approaches on long-term trends identify the environmental factors that cause loss of biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functions.
Glucocorticoids are assumed to reflect 'stress,' but they increase proportionally to the increase in metabolic rate induced by stressors, leading us to propose that glucocorticoids reflect metabolic rate, not stress.
