Oxidative status: A general but overlooked indicator of welfare across animal species?

Datasets resulting from the review process aiming to quantify the use of markers of oxidative status in animal welfare studies and in adjacent fields focused on wild animals (ecophysiology, conservation physiology). Datasets used for the metanalyses aiming to examine variation in markers of oxidative status across three conditions associated with a negative valence (social isolation, noise exposure, predation exposure)., Review:
The reviewing process was conducted in journals assumed to be representative of their respective research fields (animal welfare, ecophysiology, conservation physiology) and actively publishing research in the last decade (2013-2022) to reflect current trends. Only research articles or short communications were considered in the reviewing process to reflect active research in each field (as opposed to reviews, commentaries, or perspective articles). Plant articles were also excluded. Because of the overrepresentation of ecophysiological studies relative to other fields and because such studies can often be found in journals also publishing exclusively physiological studies, the reviewing process of ecophysiological studies was limited to journals with a clear ecophysiological section. Biology Letters does not have an ecophysiological section but, because of the strong evolutionary and ecological focus of this journal, its Physiology section was considered as an ecophysiological ..., , # Data from: Oxidative status: A general but overlooked indicator of welfare across animal species?

## Description of the data and file structure

Review Data: data are presented by research fields, journal and year of publication. For each publication, the following information is provided: title, animal taxon being considered, markers of oxidative status being measured, the biological matrix were markers of oxidative status were measured, and the conditions in response to which they were measured

Meta-analysis data: data are presented for each of the three negatively-valenced conditions under consideration (social isolation, noise exposure, predation exposure). The title of each study is provided, as well as the tissue in which markers of oxidative status were measured. For each of the four markers of oxidative status that were considered here (MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT) , the sample size, the mean effect a...
