Amphibians, as the most imperiled vertebrate group, are currently threatened by stressors including habitat loss, disease and pollution. Methods for reliably and non-invasively measuring stress hormones can elucidate the impact of stressors on amphibian health. This study validates a new method for measuring salivary stress hormones in three amphibian species.
