In many vertebrate species, early social experience generates long-term effects on later life
social behaviour. These effects are accompanied by persistent modifications in the …

Artificial light at night (hereafter “ALAN”) affects 88% of the land area in Europe and almost
half of the land area in the USA, with even rural areas exposed to lights from agricultural and …

Acute, short-term effects of early-life stress and associated glucocorticoid upregulation on
physiology and survival are widely documented across vertebrates. However, the …

The plight of wild birds is becoming critical due to exposure to environmental contaminants.
Although laboratory studies have provided insights into the developmental effects of …

The hypothalamic–pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important physiological
mechanisms for mediating life-history trade-offs by reallocating resources to immediate …

Abamectin (ABA) toxicity in fish, amphibian and mammals was already proven, but its effect
on birds is almost unknown. Thus, the aim of our study is to assess the impact of exposure to …

The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis coordinates an organism's response to
environmental stress. The responsiveness and sensitivity of an offspring's stress response …

Exposure to adversity early in development alters brain and behavioral trajectories. Data
continue to accumulate that epigenetic mechanisms are a mediating factor between early …

Tannery industries generate large amounts of tannery effluents (TE), which have been
considered highly toxic to various groups of animals. However, the identification and …

Pre‐release training is becoming a standard practice in conservation breeding and
translocation programs for mammals and birds, but is still relatively neglected for …
