Effect of Human Disturbance on Bird Telomere Length: An Experimental Approach
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Human recreational activities increase worldwide in space and frequency leading to higher rates of encounter between humans and wild animals. Because wildlife often perceive humans as predators, this increase in human disturbance may have negative ...
