Chronic repeated exposure to weather‐related stimuli elicits few symptoms of chronic stress in captive molting and non‐molting European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)

Repeated exposure to acute stressors causes dramatic changes in an animal's stress physiology and the cumulative effects are often called chronic stress. Recently we showed that short‐term exposure to weather‐related stimuli, such as temperature change, artificial precipitation, and food restriction, cause acute responses in captive European starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris ). Here, we examined the effect of repeated exposure to weather‐related...
