Variation in Lipid Peroxidation in the Ejaculates of Wild Banded Mongooses (<i>Mungos mungo</i>): A Test of the Oxidative Shielding Hypothesis

Variation in Lipid Peroxidation in the Ejaculates of Wild Banded Mongooses (<i>Mungos mungo</i>): A Test of the Oxidative Shielding Hypothesis

Reproductive activity is costly in terms of future reproduction and survival. Oxidative stress has been identified as a likely mechanism underlying this cost of reproduction. However, empirical studies have yielded the paradoxical observation that breeders often sustain lower levels of oxidative dam...
