Eucalypt plantations disturb the development of amphibian larvae
Consequences of human actions like global warming, spread of exotic species or resource consumption are pushing species to extinction. Even species considered to be at low extinction risk often...
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...
