1H NMR based metabolic profiling distinguishes the differential impact of capture techniques on wild bighorn sheep

Abstract Environmental metabolomics has the potential to facilitate the establishment of a new suite of tools for assessing the physiological status of important wildlife species. A first step in developing such tools is to evaluate the impacts of various capture techniques on metabolic profiles as...
