Oxidative stress as a cost of reproduction: Beyond the simplistic trade‐off model
JR Speakman, M Garratt - BioEssays, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The idea that oxidative stress may underpin life history trade‐offs has become extremely
popular. However, experimental support for the concept has proved equivocal. It has …

The free‐radical damage theory: accumulating evidence against a simple link of oxidative stress to ageing and lifespan
JR Speakman, C Selman - Bioessays, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Recent work on a small European cave salamander (Proteus anguinus) has revealed that it
has exceptional longevity, yet it appears to have unexceptional defences against oxidative …

Oxidative stress and life histories: unresolved issues and current needs
Life‐history theory concerns the trade‐offs that mold the patterns of investment by animals
between reproduction, growth, and survival. It is widely recognized that physiology plays a …

Oxidative shielding and the cost of reproduction
Life‐history theory assumes that reproduction and lifespan are constrained by trade‐offs
which prevent their simultaneous increase. Recently, there has been considerable interest …

Climate warming has divergent physiological impacts on sympatric lizards
Climate warming is expected to affect the vulnerability of sympatric species differentially due
to their divergent traits, but the underlying physiological mechanisms of those impacts are …

The oxidative cost of reproduction: theoretical questions and alternative mechanisms
The role of reproduction in increasing oxidative stress may be fundamental to understanding
aging and the evolutionary trade-off between survival and fecundity. However, contradictory …

Experimental warming induces oxidative stress and immunosuppression in a viviparous lizard, Eremias multiocellata
X Han, X Hao, Y Wang, X Wang, L Teng, Z Liu… - Journal of Thermal …, 2020 - Elsevier
Reptiles are especially vulnerable to climate warming because their behavior, physiology,
and life history are highly dependent on environmental temperature. In this study, we …

It takes two to tango: including a female perspective in reproductive biology
Like many scientific disciplines, the field of reproductive biology is subject to biases in
terminology and research foci. For example, females are often described as coy and passive …
