The adaptive response characterized by a biphasic curve is known as hormesis. In a
hormesis framework, exposure to low doses leads to protective and beneficial responses …

It has long been debated whether a little stress may be “good” for you. Extensive evidence
has now sufficiently accumulated demonstrating that low doses of a vast range of chemical …

The biological response of individual organisms or groups of organisms to stress is crucial in
several scientific disciplines, and hormesis is the most appropriate concept for studying dose …

Over the past 30 years, the sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a regular component
of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programs against several major …

The sterile insect technique (SIT) depends greatly on the production of good-quality sterile
male insects that are released into target wild populations. Quality is controlled through a …

Conservation becomes increasingly complex as climate change exacerbates the multitude
of stressors that organisms face. To meet this challenge, multiple stressor research is rapidly …

Rapid cold hardening (RCH) is a type of phenotypic plasticity that allows ectotherms to
quickly enhance cold tolerance in response to brief chilling (lasting minutes to hours). In this …

High amounts of stress are harmful to organisms, but in low amounts may stimulate certain
biological processes. This biphasic response to a stressor, termed 'hormesis', has been …

Irradiation technology in food is needed to maintain the quality of the products against
microbiological damage, increase nutritional value, avoid the use of chemicals to make the …
