Oxidative stress in ecology and evolution: lessons from avian studies
Abstract Although oxidative stress is a central topic in biochemical and medical research, the number of reports on its relevance in life‐history studies of non‐human animals is still low. Information about oxidative stress in wild birds may help describe functional interactions among the components...
