Role of Organismal Oxidative Stress in the Ecology and Life-History Evolution of Animals

David Costantini is Professor of Physiology and Ecophysiology at the Tuscia University (Italy). His research combines studies of mechanisms and functions to understand the causes and consequences of phenotypic variation in animals. He is author of more than 170 scientific publications. He has been awarded an international prize for a scholar of zoology and evolution from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. He has been included in the list of the world's most cited scientists published from Stanford University.
