Physiological markers can be used in conservation studies if they reliably reflect environmental perturbations. Here, two oxidative markers reflected environmental conditions experienced by greater mouse-eared bats. However, the magnitude of the variation in oxidative markers differed among nearby colonies, suggesting that, if necessary, a one-size-fits-all conservation approach would be inappropriate.
