Urban development can alter resource availability, land use, and community composition,
which, in turn, influences wildlife health. Generalizable relationships between wildlife health …

The concept of a pace‐of‐life syndrome describes inter‐and intraspecific variation in several
life‐history traits along a slow‐to‐fast pace‐of‐life continuum, with long lifespans, low …

Following the discoveries of telomeres and of their implications in terms of health and
ageing, there has been a growing interest into the study of telomere dynamics in wild …

Generalist species able to exploit anthropogenic food sources are becoming increasingly
common in urban environments. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are one such urban generalist that …

Human landscape transformation, especially urbanization, strongly affects ecosystems
worldwide. Both urban stressors and parasites have negative effects on organism health …

Urban environmental pollution results in contamination of the tissues of synanthropic
organisms by toxic trace elements with potential impacts on human health. Passerine birds …

Urban environments are evolutionarily novel and differ from natural environments in many
respects including food and/or water availability, predation, noise, light, air quality …

Coastal seabirds serve as sentinels of ecosystem health due to their vulnerability to
contamination from human activities. However, our understanding on how contaminant …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) can disrupt adaptive patterns of physiology and behavior that
promote high fitness, resulting in physiological stress and elevation of steroid …

Urban landscapes are associated with abiotic and biotic environmental changes that may
result in potential stressors for wild vertebrates. Urban exploiters have physiological …
