Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patterns of glucocorticoids across dominant and subordinate animals have indeed been found to vary widely across species, with their levels being positively, negatively, or uncorrelated with rank. These variations can be related to long-term health differences associated with rank and may fluctuate in their correlation with rank throughout the day, reflecting the complex interplay between social status, stress, and physiological responses.
