- Stress responses in nadir, baseline, and peak months (with month number) as measured by fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCMs, monthly median, \(\upmu \hbox {g}/\hbox {g}\) org. content), in free-living and captive banded mongooses (Mungos mungo). We include the long-term non-reproductive baseline for the captive group. Reading across rows, values within the matrix represent the x-fold change in fGCMs from the first column relative to the corresponding fGCM value on the top row (e.g. the captive group’s baseline was double [onefold increase] its nadir). x-fold values \(> 1\) were rounded to the nearest whole number
