Does oxidative stress shorten telomeres in vivo? A review
S Reichert, A Stier - Biology letters, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The length of telomeres, the protective caps of chromosomes, is increasingly used as a
biomarker of individual health state because it has been shown to predict chances of …

Effects of the social environment on vertebrate fitness and health in nature: Moving beyond the stress axis
Social interactions are a ubiquitous feature of the lives of vertebrate species. These may be
cooperative or competitive, and shape the dynamics of social systems, with profound effects …

Increased glucocorticoid concentrations in early life cause mitochondrial inefficiency and short telomeres
Telomeres are DNA structures that protect chromosome ends. However, telomeres shorten
during cell replication and at critically low lengths can reduce cell replicative potential …

Plastic but repeatable: rapid adjustments of mitochondrial function and density during reproduction in a wild bird species
Most of the energy fluxes supporting animal performance flow through mitochondria. Hence,
inter-individual differences in performance might be rooted in inter-individual variations in …
