Daniela Mello “I find it absolutely mind-blowing that we can explore animal physiology through unconventional — and sometimes unexpected — biological samples.” Xavier Glaudas "My primary research interests lie in animal behavioral and evolutionary ecology. Over the years, my research has mainly revolved around animal foraging, mating systems, space use and defense."

Understanding a species’ physiological state is important for advancing animal ecology and conservation. Endocrine responses to reproduction, stress, and nutritional status are commonly assessed through gonadal, adrenal, and thyroid hormones, respectively. Using nonconventional samples for endocrinological evaluation is an increasingly utilized method but remains uncommon for snakes. In this study, we assessed whether feces, urine, or shed skin from two Neotropical pit vipers (Bothrops jararaca and B. jararacussu) contain detectable testosterone (T), progesterone (P4), 17β-estradiol (E2), corticosterone (CORT), and triiodothyronine (T3) using enzyme immunoassay (EIA). We collected samples from 23 individuals, 10 B. jararaca and 13 B. jararacussu, and assessed detectability of hormones and/or immunoreactive hormone metabolites (IHM). We used tests of parallelism and accuracy to validate assays. Triiodothyronine was not detected in urine of either species; all other hormones were detected in all matrices. Testosterone and T3 showed good parallelism for all matrices tested. Parallelism tests for E2 (urine, both species), CORT (urine, B. jararaca, and shed skin, B. jararacussu), and P4 (urine, B. jararaca) showed marginally acceptable results. All accuracy validations were successful, except for T3 in shed skin extract (B. jararacussu) and P4 in urine extract (B. jararaca). This study demonstrates the applicability of nonconventional samples for hormone and IHM detection and quantification, offering valuable tools to monitor the endocrinological status of both free-ranging and confined snakes.

Circuit diagrams and model equations for the hormone regulatory motifs. Diagrams are generic, stimulation and inhibition may be exchanged. h = hormone concentration,m=metabolite concentration, G = endocrine gland mass, u = input signal, r = rate constant for hormone removal, q = hormone/metabolite specific production rate (maximal secretion rate per unit biomass of secreting cell type), s = hormone sensitivity, a = rate constant for metabolite removal, c = cell proliferation/growth rate, d = cell death or removal rate.

The five classes of endocrine circuits and their dynamic response to brief and prolonged input stimuli. Diagrams are generic, and stimulation and inhibition may be exchanged. a−e Class 1−5, respectively. Metabolite, hormone and gland mass dynamics from simulations with a brief input pulse of 9 days (dashed blue line) or a prolonged pulse of 150 days and a second prolonged pulse with twice the amplitude at day 350 (orange line). Constant tissue in class 2 indicates that the secreting cell type growth is not regulated by elements in the circuit. The functions of the circuits are summarised. Simulation parameters are q = q3 = 16/day, q1 = 288/day, q2 = 48/day, rClasses1–3 = r3 = 16/day, r1 = 288/day, rClass4 = r2 = 48/day, c = c1 = c2 = d = d1 = d2 = 1/15/day, s = 48/day, a = 16/day.

Transition between subclinical and clinical Cushing’s syndrome cases for pituitary and adrenal tumours. a: Schematic showing how an adrenal cortisol-secreting tumour causes the native (non-neoplastic) adrenal cortex cortisol-secreting mass to shrink. Clinical disease appears in cases in which the adrenal cortex cortisol-secreting mass shrinks to zero. b: CRH, c: ACTH and d: cortisol as a function of adrenal tumour cortisol secretion rate β. e: Schematic showing how a pituitary ACTH-secreting tumour causes the native pituitary corticotroph mass to shrink. Clinical disease appears in cases in which the pituitary ACTH-secreting mass shrinks to zero. f: CRH, g: ACTH and h: cortisol as a function of pituitary tumour ACTH secretion rate α. Simulations used q1 = r1 =288/day , q2 = r2 = 48/day , q3 = r3 = 16/day, bP = aP = bA = aA = 1 15/day , r = 1/day, Kgr = 4, n = 3, K = 1, u = 1, and ζ = 0.1.
