The energetic and oxidative costs of reproduction in a free‐ranging rodent (2011, background): “The validity of colorimetric determination of MDA levels has been questioned, as it could be biased by metabolic artefacts and diet (Horak & Cohen 2010).”
Reactive oxygen species as universal constraints in life-history evolution (2009, background): “For example, many studies have examined the role that hormonal regulation may play in the evolution of tradeoffs (Zera & Harshman 2001; Harshman & Zera 2006; Martin et al. 2008).”
The Challenges of Integrating Oxidative Stress into Life-History Biology (2011, background): “…components of life-history biology—can be influenced by variation in ROS levels in the absence of, or in addition to, the balance between ROS and antioxidants (see, e.g., Sheldon and Verhulst 1996, SchmidHempel and Ebert 2003, and Hau 2007 for discussions about immunity and life history).”
From molecules to living systems: historical and contemporary issues in oxidative stress and antioxidant ecology (2010, background): “R E P R OD U C T I O N OS may have its most dramatic effect on animal fitness by directly impairing reproduction (Harshman & Zera 2007).”
Benefits and costs of parental care (2012, background): “Examples include trade-offs derived from risky, damaging, or stressful conditions during care (Clutton-Brock 1991; Harshman and Zera 2007), some of which are obviously ‘all-or-nothing’ tradeoffs (e.”
Life history correlates of oxidative damage in a free‐living mammal population (2009, background): “However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying such costs remains limited, particularly in wild populations (Partridge & Gems 2002; Reznick 2005; Harshman & Zera 2006).”
Experimental evidence for physiological costs underlying the trade-off between reproduction and survival. (2010, background): “Physiological explanations for the trade-off between reproduction and survival are typically based on the assumption that these two components of fitness compete for limited energy and nutrients (Reznick 1992; Zera & Harshman 2001; Harshman & Zera 2007).”
Evolutionary Endocrinology: The Developing Synthesis between Endocrinology and Evolutionary Genetics (2007, background): “These model organisms and molecular approaches are beginning to be incorporated into evolutionary-endocrine research at an increasing rate (Harshman & Zera 2007, Richard et al. 2005); a number of recent, notable examples are discussed throughout this review.”
Are all eggs created equal? Food availability and the fitness trade-off between reproduction and immunity (2013, background): “The immune response also results in oxidative stress in vertebrates (Costantini & Moller 2009; Sorci & Faivre 2009), which suggests that oxidant–antioxidant mechanisms may underlie reproduction–immunity trade-offs across taxa (Harshman & Zera 2007).”
Increased brood size leads to persistent eroded telomeres (2014, background): “Once reaching a lower www.frontiersin.org April 2014 | Volume 2 | Article 9 | 1 ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION critical size, telomere signalization pathway induces cell division arrest, and/or cell senescence (Harley et al., 1990; Blackburn, 1991).”
