In the context of global changes, fish are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors that
have cascading effects from molecules to the whole individual, thereby affecting wild fish …

Much telomere loss takes place during the period of most rapid growth when cell
proliferation and potentially energy expenditure are high. Fast growth is linked to reduced …

Human activity is changing climatic conditions at an unprecedented rate. The impact of
these changes may be especially acute on ectotherms since they have limited capacities to …

Most research on mechanisms of aging is being conducted in a very limited number of
classical model species, ie, laboratory mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus …

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 …

Climate warming is increasingly exposing wildlife to sublethal high temperatures, which may
lead to chronic impacts and reduced fitness. Telomere length (TL) may link heat exposure to …

We review the evolutionary ecology and genetics of telomeres in taxa that cannot elevate
their body temperature to a preferred level through metabolism but do so by basking or …

Identifying the early warning signals of catastrophic extinctions has recently become a
central focus for ecologists, but species' functional responses to environmental changes …

Climate change and human activities have dramatically affected all ecosystems inhabited by
Atlantic salmon, causing drastic population declines. Change in river temperature dynamics …

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of fish supports a dynamic microbial ecosystem that is
intimately linked to host nutrient acquisition, epithelial development, immune system …
