The majority of the world population is now inhabiting urban areas, and with staggering
population growth, urbanization is also increasing. While the work studying the effects of …

In addition to the well-characterized role of the sex steroid receptors in regulating fertility and
reproduction, reproductive events are also mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal …

Research programmes on oxidative stress and hormesis are wide ranging. Biomedical and
toxicological sciences have traditionally centralised such research, but in the last years we …

Consistent expanding urbanization dramatically transforms natural habitats and exposes
organisms to novel environmental challenges, often leading to reduced species richness …

Land transformation, including urbanization, is a dominant form of anthropogenic change to
the global environment at the dawn of the Anthropocene epoch. More and more species are …

Recent ecological studies have shown that oxidative status could have a significant impact
on fitness components in wild animals. Not only can oxidative status reflect the …

Urban environments pose different selective pressures than natural ones, leading to
changes in animal behavior, physiology, and morphology. Understanding how animals …

In recent years, behavioural ecologists have taken to studying oxidative stress in free-
ranging organisms because it has been proposed as an important mediator of life-history …

Rates of human-induced environmental change continue increasing with human population
size, potentially altering animal physiology and negatively affecting wildlife. Researchers …

Effects of global change (ie urbanization, climate change) on adult organisms are readily
used to predict the persistence of populations. However, effects on embryo survival and …
