We must differentiate between stressful and harsh environments to understand animals' resilience to global change. Harshness is not stress. Stressful environments activate the physiological stress response to increase energy availability, while harsh environments inhibit the physiological stress response to save energy.
我们必须区分有压力的和恶劣的环境,以了解动物对全球变化的适应能力。恶劣并不等于压力。有压力的环境会激活生理压力反应以增加能量供应,而恶劣的环境则会抑制生理压力反应以节省能量。
