Background A proposed mediator of trade-offs between survival and reproduction is
oxidative stress resistance. Investments in reproduction are associated with increased …

Oxidative stress is a potential proximal physiological cost of reproduction. Detecting this cost
may be performed in several different ways–manipulating reproductive status, correlating …

In iteroparous species high investment in current reproduction is usually paid in terms of
reduced future reproduction and increased mortality. However, the proximal mechanisms of …

Work by Maria Rosa Miracle's group in 1989 described the adaptation of natural Brachionus
plicatilis populations to low oxygen in oxyclines of meromictic lakes. This adaptation was …

Major life history traits, such as fecundity and survival, have been consistently demonstrated
to covary positively in nature, some individuals having more resources than others to …

Oxidative stress may be of profound biological relevance. In this Commentary, I discuss
some key issues faced by the emerging field of oxidative stress ecology, and seek to provide …

There is considerable interest of evolutionary ecologists in the proximate mechanisms that
constrain life‐history variation. It is increasingly recognized that oxidative stress may be a …

Life history theory posits that reproduction is constrained by a cost of reproduction such that
any increase in breeding effort should reduce subsequent survival. Oxidative stress refers to …

There has been substantial recent interest in the possible role of oxidative stress as a
mechanism underlying life-history trade-offs, particularly with regard to reproductive costs …

Organisms face resource trade-offs to support their parental effort and survival. The life-
history oxidative stress hypothesis predicts that an individual's redox state modulates the …
