Abstract

The objective of this review is to briefly summarize the recent progress in studies done on the assessment of reprotoxicity risk posed by global warming for the foundation of strategic tool in ecosystem-based adaptation. The selected animal data analysis that was used in this paper focuses on antioxidative markers and fertility rate estimated over the period 2000–2019. We followed a phylogenetic methodology in order to report data on a panel of selected organisms that show dangerous effects. The oxidative damage studies related to temperature fluctuation occurring in biosentinels of different invertebrate and vertebrate classes show a consistently maintained physiological defense. Furthermore, the results from homeothermic and poikilothermic species in our study highlight the influence of temperature rise on reprotoxicity.

Highlights

  • It is well known that, in the coming decades, the loss of biodiversity will have a dramatic impact on the life cycles of organisms [1,2,3]

  • Various species of vertebrates are model organisms for the purpose of monitoring effects of temperature fluctuation (Table 3) and reprotoxicity risk based on the environmental antioxidant response and effects on fertility rate (Table 4) posed by global warming

  • Over the last two decades, much effort was made to decipher the role of antioxidants in reproductive health and fertility rate for the assessment of the reprotoxicity risk posed by global warming

Summary

Introduction

It is well known that, in the coming decades, the loss of biodiversity will have a dramatic impact on the life cycles of organisms [1,2,3]. Anthropogenic human activities and xenobiotics released into the environment such as metals, pesticides, herbicides, drugs, antifouling compounds, nanoparticles, and plastics directly influence migration, seasonal breeding, and reproduction [4,5,6] These factors have secondary deleterious effects contributing to climate change, as evidenced in global warming and ocean acidification, raising an alarm in the scientific community and government environmental agencies about reprotoxicity [7,8]. “environmental endocrinology”, focusing on active hormonal compounds, is bringing to light the hormonal mechanisms acting in response to changing environments [5,10,11] In this context, climatic warming is causing alteration of the diurnal temperature range, as well as altered precipitation patterns [12].
