This perspectives paper considers the value of studying telomere biology outside of a
biomedical context. I provide illustrative examples of the kinds of questions that evolutionary …

Habitat anthropization is a major driver of global biodiversity decline. Although most species
are negatively affected, some benefit from anthropogenic habitat modifications by showing …

Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 5: Mammals is the fifth of five second-
edition volumes representing a comprehensive and integrated overview of hormones and …

Nocturnal temperatures are increasing at a pace exceeding diurnal temperatures in most
parts of the world. The role of warmer nocturnal temperatures in animal ecology has …

The slow–fast continuum is a commonly used framework to describe variation in life-history
strategies across species. Individual life histories have also been assumed to follow a …

Exposure to rising sublethal temperatures can affect development and somatic condition,
and thereby Darwinian fitness. In the context of climate warming, these changes could have …

Telomeres, the nucleotide sequences that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes,
shorten with each cell division and telomere loss may be influenced by environmental …

Climate change often includes increases in the occurrence of extreme environmental
events. Among these, heatwaves affect the pace of life and performance of wildlife …

Telomeres are environment-sensitive regulators of health and aging. Here, we present
telomere DNA length analysis of two reef-building coral genera revealing that the long-and …

Higher temperatures enhance ectothermic metabolism and development, which can reduce
individual health and life expectancy, and therefore increase their vulnerability to climate …
