Carry‐over effects occur when processes in one season influence the success of an
individual in the following season. This phenomenon has the potential to explain a large …

Oxidative stress occurs when the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overcome the
antioxidant defenses of the organism, jeopardizing several biological functions, including …

Oxidative stress is usually defined as an imbalance arising when the rate of production of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the capacity of the antioxidant defence and repair …

In this review, it is our aim 1) to describe the high diversity in molecular and structural
antioxidant defenses against oxidative stress in animals, 2) to extend the traditional concept …
