Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade‐offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation
The concept of trade‐offs is central to our understanding of life‐history evolution. The
underlying mechanisms, however, have been little studied. Oxidative stress results from a …

Oxidative stress as a life‐history constraint: the role of reactive oxygen species in shaping phenotypes from conception to death
NB Metcalfe, C Alonso‐Alvarez - Functional Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Oxidative stress is usually defined as an imbalance arising when the rate of production of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the capacity of the antioxidant defence and repair …

Variation in the link between oxygen consumption and ATP production, and its relevance for animal performance
It is often assumed that an animal's metabolic rate can be estimated through measuring the
whole-organism oxygen consumption rate. However, oxygen consumption alone is unlikely …
