Different effects of accelerated development and enhanced growth on oxidative stress and telomere shortening in amphibian larvae
Organisms react to environmental changes through plastic responses that often involve physiological alterations with the potential to modify life-history traits and fitness. Environmentally induced...
Accommodation of developmental plasticity explains adaptive divergence among spadefoot toads
Phenotypic differences among species may evolve through genetic accommodation, but mechanisms accounting for this process are poorly understood. Here hormonal variation underlying differences in...
Wetland salinity induces carry-over effects in the physical conditions of a long-distance migrant
Salinization is having a major impact on wetlands and its biota worldwide. Specifically, many migratory animals that rely on wetlands are increasingly exposed to elevated salinity on their...
