Sources of stress in captivity
TLDR
In this paper, the authors review many of the potential stressors that may adversely affect animals living in captivity and present a suite of behavioral or physiological responses that will clearly indicate the cause of those responses; rather, it is up to us as managers and caretakers of animals in captivity to evaluate enclosures and husbandry practices to ensure the optimal well-being of animals.About:

Born to choose: the origins and value of the need for control
TL;DR: Converging evidence from animal research, clinical studies and neuroimaging suggests that the need for control is a biological imperative for survival, and a corticostriatal network is implicated as the neural substrate of this adaptive behavior.

Why and how should we use environmental enrichment to tackle stereotypic behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise recent findings on the causation of stereotypic behaviours and other abnormal repetitive behaviours (ARBs) in captive animals: primarily motivational frustration and/or brain dysfunction, with possible contributory roles also being played by habit-formation and "coping" effects.

Species differences in responses to captivity: stress, welfare and the comparative method
TL;DR: The use of comparative methods to investigate the fundamental biological causes of species differences would help to improve husbandry and enclosure design, and might even reveal relationships between susceptibilities to poor captive welfare and susceptibility to anthropogenic threat in the wild.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation
TL;DR: Reducing the impact and time course of chronic stress on the physiology and behavior of translocated animals will increase the likelihood of translocation success as measured by the formation of a new, self-sustaining population.

The Stress of Life
TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of stress, the dissection of stress the disease of adaptation sketch for a unified theory implications and applications is described, and the authors propose a unified framework for adaptation.

Learned helplessness: Theory and evidence.
TL;DR: The learned helplessness hypothesis is proposed, which argues that when events are uncontrollable the organism learns that its behavior and outcomes are independent, and that this learning produces the motivational, cognitive, and emotional effects of uncontrollabi lity.

The neurobiology of stress : from serendipity to clinical relevance
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of stress on the immune system and brain are discussed and two new terms, allostasis and allostatic load, are introduced to supplement and clarify the meanings of stress and homeostasis.
