Abstract

Residual variation unexplained by life histories occurs in the comparisons among individuals or closely related species. There are many factors that contribute to generate this variation. Individual genetic quality, gene flow, genetic drift, presence of predators, synergistic or antagonistic stressors, early-life experiences, diet, rhythms, plasticity, coping style, metabolic rate, body size, quality of the wintering or breeding habitat, and further local selective pressures have been shown to contribute in some way to build up variation among individuals, populations or species. This chapter examines some of these factors. It briefly reviews the long-term effects of early-life experiences on individual variation in adult oxidant phenotype because this topic has been fully discussed in Chap. 2. It then explores how variation in individual stress responsiveness or in environmental circumstances under which an individual lives contribute to build up variation in oxidative status; research that quantified the relative contributions of environment, maternal effects and genetic background to variation in oxidative status and hormesis; comparative studies that assessed the links between life history traits and parameters of oxidative status or analysed among-species variation in oxidative stress resistance or hormesis.
