Red blood cells open promising avenues for longitudinal studies of ageing in laboratory, non-model and wild animals
Ageing is characterized by a progressive deterioration of multiple physiological and
molecular pathways, which impair organismal performance and increase risks of death with …

Polystyrene microplastics mediate inflammatory responses in the chicken thymus by Nrf2/NF-κB pathway and trigger autophagy and apoptosis
J Li, K Yin, L Hou, Y Zhang, H Lu, C Ma… - Environmental Toxicology …, 2023 - Elsevier
Microplastics (MPs) are a hot environmental contaminant now. However, researchers paid
little attention to their effects on immune organs such as the thymus. Here, we exposed …

Effects of the urban environment on oxidative stress in early life: insights from a cross-fostering experiment
As urban areas expand rapidly worldwide, wildlife is exposed to a wide range of novel
environmental stressors, such as increased air pollution and artificial light at night. Birds in …

Alternative reproductive tactics, sperm mobility and oxidative stress in Carollia perspicillata (Seba's short-tailed bat)
In social systems with alternative reproductive tactics, sneakers face a higher level of sperm
competition than harem males and hence are predicted to allocate more resources to …

Oxidative stress during courtship affects male and female reproductive effort differentially in a wild bird with biparental care
B Montoya, M Valverde, E Rojas… - Journal of Experimental …, 2016 - journals.biologists.com
Oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the physiological mechanisms modulating
reproductive effort, including investment in mate choice. Here, we evaluated whether …

Reproductive effort and oxidative stress: effects of offspring sex and number on the physiological state of a long‐lived bird
Individuals must trade‐off between energetically costly activities to maximize their fitness.
However, the underlying physiological mechanism remains elusive. Oxidative stress, the …

Standing variation and the capacity for change: are endocrine phenotypes more variable than other traits?
Circulating steroid hormone levels exhibit high variation both within and between
individuals, leading some to hypothesize that these phenotypes are more variable than …
