...Sarah Guindre-Parker; Dustin R. Rubenstein ABSTRACT The cost of reproduction results in a life-history trade-off where investment in current reproduction via costly parental care decreases subsequent fitness. Although this trade-off is thought to occur ubiquitously across animals...

...Leigh W. Simmons; Maxine Lovegrove; Samuel J. Lymbery ABSTRACT Recent interest has focused on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as universal constraints in life-history evolution. Empirical studies have examined the oxidative costs of reproduction for females, with little work conducted...

...Antoine Stier; Andréaz Dupoué; Damien Picard; Frédéric Angelier; François Brischoux; Olivier Lourdais ABSTRACT The physiological mechanisms underlying the ‘cost of reproduction’ remain under debate, though oxidative stress has emerged as a potential candidate. The ‘oxidative cost of reproduction...

.../ Summary: In the brown booby, oxidative stress may arise as a cost of pre-laying reproductive investment in both sexes and constrain investment in eggs and offspring by females. Color Constraint Cost of reproduction Life-history trade-off Parental care The existence of an energetic trade...

...Paweł Brzęk; Aneta Książek; Łukasz Ołdakowski; Marek Konarzewski Increased oxidative stress (OS) has been suggested as a physiological cost of reproduction. However, previous studies reported ambiguous results, with some even showing a reduction of oxidative damage during reproduction. We tested...

...Emily C. Wagner; Jaime S. Prevolsek; Katherine E. Wynne-Edwards; Tony D. Williams SUMMARY The `cost of reproduction' (i.e. the trade-off between current reproduction and future fecundity and/or survival) is a central concept in life history theory, yet we still know very little about...
