Abstract
The stress response in vertebrates is characterized by involving physiological regulatory systems and a number of organs, tissues, and effector pathways in order to both respond to the stressor effects and overcome the situation and recover homeostasis. Although differences in specific mechanisms are encountered in different animal groups and even between interspecies and intraspecies, the stress response involves an endocrine activation in all groups of vertebrates. Since an increasing number of scientific works are currently published in this field, the idea of collecting and reviewing such advances originated the initiative of a Topic Collection on the Comparative Stress responses in Vertebrates. In the following set of papers, the readers will find out an interesting update of the latest work in the field of the endocrine responses to stress in vertebrates, from general approaches to specific contributions and methodological updates.Of course, it is not intended that this Topic collection be exhaustive or complete, as many untreated aspects could be added, and some vertebrate groups are not well-represented into the collection, but this overview is anyway interesting to show what are some of the current working areas in this field.
