We assessed the range of variation of physiological indicators (e.g. glucocorticoid) and movements in the endangered Hermann's tortoises. The findings provide sex-specific seasonal baselines that can be used to monitor the health status of tortoises facing environmental threats or during conservation actions (e.g. translocation).
