This study describes a reliable and accessible means to measure heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV) and to evaluate the use of HRV as a physiological correlate of stress in the Asian elephant. Statistical analysis indicates that HRV measurements may adequately distinguish between stressed and non-stressed elephants.
Key findings
Heart rate variability may distinguish between stressed and non-stressed elephants.
