Based on the abundant studies available on humans showing clear associations between
rapid environmental changes and the rate of neoplasia, we propose that human activities …

Natural habitats are rapidly declining due to urbanisation, with a concomitant decline in
biodiversity in highly urbanised areas. Yet thousands of different species have colonised …

Stressors associated with urban habitats have been linked to poor wildlife health but
whether a general negative relationship between urbanization and animal health can be …

Urbanisation is regarded as one of the most threatening global issues for wildlife, however,
measuring its impact is not always straight forward. Oxidative stress physiology has been …

Species are declining worldwide, but while some are becoming threatened, few others thrive
under novel environmental conditions. Land use changes and biological invasion are the …

Natural and human-induced stressors elicit changes in energy metabolism and stress
physiology in populations of a wide array of species. Cities are stressful environments that …

Telomere length (TL) and shortening is increasingly shown to predict variation in survival
and lifespan, raising the question of what causes variation in these traits. Oxidative stress is …

Urbanization influences food quality and availability for many wild species, but our
knowledge of the consequences urbanization has on the nutritional physiology of these …

Urban areas provide a constant and predictable supply of anthropogenic processed food.
The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus Linnaeus, 1758), a declining urban bioindicator …

Objectives: Bird populations and species world-wide are experiencing die-offs on an
unprecedented scale. Forensic evidence is consistent with coal fly ash (CFA), the toxic …
