2 ), but the curve was lower in the disturbed sub-colony (sub-colony, F 1,53 = 13.4, P < 0.001), while the interaction between time and sub-colony was not significant (time × sub-colony, F 8, 53 = 0.909, P = 0.52). The non-disturbed sub-colony showed an increasing trend in the stress response after 25 min of human disturbance, with a peak of 50.49 ng/ml CORT concentration.
