Abstract
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
are recognized as the primary forces
dictating the distribution, abundance,
and physical condition of pheasants
(Phasianus colchicus) and all other
game species. These forces, whether
beneficial or detrimental, manifest
themselves within the physiological
mechanisms carrying on the life processes
of individuals constituting animal
populations. Thus, it might be
said that the physiological status of an
animal is the expression of all of the
environmental factors acting on the
animal. This study elucidates changes
in selected physiological parameters of
wild pheasants in Illinois in relation to
stresses that occur during the life cycle
of this game bird.
