• Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade-offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation. (2009, background): “In contrast, an androgen-based signal is a handicap because higher levels of androgens are thought to generate greater levels of ROS (Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2007a).”
• The energetic and oxidative costs of reproduction in a free‐ranging rodent (2011, background): “It is suggested that the high metabolic rate required to sustain growth increases ROS production and oxidative damage (Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2007; ), to a level similar to that in old individuals.”
• Life history correlates of oxidative damage in a free‐living mammal population (2009, background): “Laboratory studies of birds and insects in which growth rates were manipulated have found similar costs, either in terms of raised oxidative damage or reduced antioxidant capacity (e.g. Blount et al. 2003; Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2007; de Block & Stoks 2008).”
• Does oxidative stress mediate the trade‐off between growth and self‐maintenance in structured families? (2010, background): “While recent studies have illustrated that increased growth rate is associated with greater oxidative damage (Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2007; Nussey et al. 2009) or production of defensive antioxidant enzymes (De Block & Stoks 2008), and that dietary antioxidant provision can boost growth rate (Cucco et”
• No simple measures for antioxidant status in birds: complexity in inter‐ and intraspecific correlations among circulating antioxidant types (2009, background): “oxidant protection in avian ecology and physiology (e.g. Horak et al. 2006; Tummeleht et al. 2006; Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2007; Isaksson et al. 2007).”
• Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “In birds, costly investment in reproduction and growth has been associated with increased blood levels of ROS (Costantini et al. 2006) or reduced levels of antioxidant defence (Wiersma et al. 2004; Alonso-Alvarez et al. 2004a, 2007).”
