Animal response to stressors such as harsh environmental conditions and demanding
biological processes requires energy generated through increased mitochondrial activity …

In the context of global changes, fish are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors that
have cascading effects from molecules to the whole individual, thereby affecting wild fish …

Human activity is changing climatic conditions at an unprecedented rate. The impact of
these changes may be especially acute on ectotherms since they have limited capacities to …

Much telomere loss takes place during the period of most rapid growth when cell
proliferation and potentially energy expenditure are high. Fast growth is linked to reduced …

Following the discoveries of telomeres and of their implications in terms of health and
ageing, there has been a growing interest into the study of telomere dynamics in wild …

Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably
over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of …

The prediction that telomere length (TL) shortens with increasing age is a major element in
considering the role of telomeres as a key player in evolution. While telomere attrition is …

In the last decades, the use of pesticides has grown worldwide. However, there is great
worry about the impact of pesticides on human health, due to their wide distribution and …

Understanding individual‐level variation in response to the environment is fundamental to
understanding life‐history evolution and population dynamics. Telomeres, the protective …

We review the evolutionary ecology and genetics of telomeres in taxa that cannot elevate
their body temperature to a preferred level through metabolism but do so by basking or …
