Ecological processes in a hormetic framework.

Ecology letters - 1 Nov 2010

Costantini David, Metcalfe Neil B, Monaghan Pat

Abstract excerpt

There is increasing evidence that some non-essential substances or environmental stressors can have stimulatory or beneficial effects at low exposure levels while being toxic at higher levels, and that environmental 'priming' of certain physiological processes can result in their improved functioning in later life. These kinds of nonlinear dose-response relationships are referred to as hormetic responses and have...
