Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen
species and the antioxidants defences, in favour of the former. In recent years, the …

One of the most comprehensively studied responses to stressors in vertebrates is the
endogenous production and regulation of glucocorticoids (GCs). Extensive laboratory …

Research programmes on oxidative stress and hormesis are wide ranging. Biomedical and
toxicological sciences have traditionally centralised such research, but in the last years we …

Recent ecological studies have shown that oxidative status could have a significant impact
on fitness components in wild animals. Not only can oxidative status reflect the …

The potential benefits of physiology for conservation are well established and include
greater specificity of management techniques, determination of cause–effect relationships …

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) may cause detrimental effects on
physiological function and reproduction of Arctic animals. However, there is a paucity of …

The field of conservation physiology strives to achieve conservation goals by revealing
physiological mechanisms that drive population declines in the face of human-induced rapid …

When complementary resources are required for an optimal life cycle, most animals need to
move between different habitats. However, the level of connectivity between resources can …

Ecological carryover effects occur when an individual's previous history and experiences
explain their current performance. It is becoming clear that ecological carryover effects are a …

Simple Summary This work aims to address the use of biomarkers that can provide us with
information on the previous nutrition levels of wild rabbits, a keystone species that has …
