Reactive Oxygen Species and the Evolution of Life Histories (ROSELH)
Date du début: 1 août 2010, Date de fin: 13 juin 2014,
"The target of this proposal is ageing and its association with reproduction, immunity and behaviour. This is an area of biology that has intrigued every generation since Aristotle (c. 300 BC). We assess how free radicals (reactive oxygen species), so often identified as factors of ageing and immune disorders, exert selection on living organisms and whether resistance (and defence) towards free ra ...

Resilience to global change in long-lived species: physiological comparisons between Arctic and temperate-breeding barnacle geese (GOOSEPHYSIOL)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
"Global change is expected to have an enormous impact on ecosystems, and the ability of species to adapt to rapidly changing environments is a prerequisite for their survival. Particularly the Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate changes on earth. To predict the impact of this unprecedented change it is crucial to understand the behavioural and physiological constra ...
