Can physiological stress alter population persistence? A model with conservation implications
Recent research has focused on the role of physiological stress in species conservation and population persistence. However, it is currently unknown how much stress individuals can withstand before negative impacts on population size will be detectable. In order to generate testable predictions to address this lack, we created a set of theoretical models that incorporate current theories of how...
متن کاملMaternal antibody persistence: a neglected life-history trait with implications from albatross conservation to comparative immunology.
The evolution of different life-history strategies has been suggested as a major force constraining physiological mechanisms such as immunity. In some long-lived oviparous species, a prolonged persistence of maternal antibodies in offspring could thus be expected in order to protect them over their long growth period. Here, using an intergenerational vaccination design, we show that specific ma...
متن کاملNearpoint visual stress: a physiological model.
The nearpoint visual stress theory holds that a tendency for convergence to localize closer than accommodation is intrinsic to the nearpoint visual demands imposed by our culture. A physiological model is presented, suggesting that this effector system mismatch arises from the activation of autonomic reflexes related to stress, vigilant attention and information-processing. Autonomic arousal ex...
متن کاملCan supplementation with vitamin C and E alter physiological adaptations to strength training?
BACKGROUND Antioxidant supplementation has recently been demonstrated to be a double-edged sword, because small to moderate doses of exogenous antioxidants are essential or beneficial, while high doses may have adverse effects. The adverse effects can be manifested in attenuated effects of exercise and training, as the antioxidants may shut down some redox-sensitive signaling in the exercised m...
متن کاملA Population Model for the Diamondback Terrapin: Implications for Conservation Management
Introduction The diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin, is America's only exclusively estuarine turtle. A resident of coastal marshes and shallow sub-tidal seagrass beds, terrapins are considered potential keystone species influencing community structure (Silliman and Bertness 2002). The turtle is declining throughout its range along the coast of Maine to southern Florida and Texas. Terrapi...
