Energy allocation between reproduction and self-maintenance is a key life history trade-off.
Therefore, forces that provoke constant renewal of an organism's tissues are investigated to …

Although oxidative stress is a central topic in biochemical and medical research, the number
of reports on its relevance in life‐history studies of non‐human animals is still low …

In recent years ecological research has focused on the relevance of antioxidants and
oxidative stress in the evolution of life-history strategies and physiological trade-off in birds …

Oxidative stress occurs when reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceed antioxidant defences,
which can have deleterious effects on cell function, health and survival. Therefore …

The mechanisms that underpin the evolution of ageing and life histories remain elusive.
Oxidative stress, which results in accumulated cellular damages, is one of the mechanisms …

Oxidative stress results from a mismatch between production of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) and the organism's capacity to mitigate their damaging effects by building up …

As generally fast-moving animals with high metabolic rates, birds have been the subject of
many studies of oxidative balance. For a given lifespan and body size, birds tend to …

Tropical birds have a 'slower pace of life', with lower rates of whole‐animal metabolism,
smaller metabolically active organs and lower cellular metabolic rates than their temperate …

Oxidative stress is the imbalance between the production of pro-oxidant substances and the
level of antioxidant defenses, which leads to oxidative damage. It has been proposed that …

Background Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species
and antioxidants, is thought to be an important intrinsic mechanism for aging. Ecologists …
