That senescence is rarely, if ever, observed in natural populations is an oft-quoted fallacy
within bio-gerontology. We identify the roots of this fallacy in the otherwise seminal works of …

We comprehensively reviewed information on maximum life spans of wild birds (based on
banding recoveries) and nine ecological, physiological and behavioral variables that have …

We used extensive data from a long-term study of great tits (Parus major) in the United
Kingdom and Netherlands to better understand how genetic signatures of selection translate …

For over 50 years, the great tit (Parus major) has been a model species for research in
evolutionary, ecological and behavioural research; in particular, learning and cognition have …

Predictions about the fate of species or populations under climate change scenarios
typically neglect adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity, the two major mechanisms by …

We propose a methodology for extracting social network structure from spatio-temporal
datasets that describe timestamped occurrences of individuals. Our approach identifies …

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic
changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes …

Oxidative stress is the unifying feature underlying the toxicity of anthropogenic pollution (eg,
heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and nitrogen-oxides) and the ultimate …

Hel** by group members is predicted to lead to delayed senescence by affecting the trade-
off between current reproduction and future survival for dominant breeders. Here we …

Adaptive integration of life history and behaviour is expected to result in variation in the pace‐
of‐life. Previous work focused on whether 'risky'phenotypes live fast but die young, but …
