Large mammal telomere length variation across ecoregions

Large mammal telomere length variation across ecoregions

Abstract Background Telomere length provides a physiological proxy for accumulated stress in animals. While there is a growing consensus over how telomere dynamics and their patterns are linked to life history variation and individual experience, knowledge on the impact of exposure to different stre...
