Fig. 6

Relative increase in peak month fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) concentrations. Dot histograms of fGCM concentrations during the peak month in free-living banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) from categories of groups living at single lodges in Chobe National Park (“park + lodge”) relative to the median fGCM concentrations in (a) the nadir month for a captive group, (b) the long-term non-reproductive baseline for a captive group, (c) the nadir month for the same category of “park + lodge” groups, and (d) the peak month for a captive group. The majority of fecal samples (percentage listed) had higher fGCM concentrations than the comparison value. Note the logarithmic y-axis
