Abstract:Environmental stress as a consequence of anthropic pressures can affect
the physiological condition of animals and cause damage to their DNA.
Multiple studies have shown genotoxic effects of different pollutants;
however, to our knowledge, the impact of environmental stress on genetic
damage has been scarce explored. In some stressful ecosystems, such as
seasonally dry tropical forests, the combined effects of anthropogenic
activities and ongoing global changes cause increased environmental
stresses that could… Show more
