Horizons in the evolution of aging
T Flatt, L Partridge - BMC biology, 2018 - Springer
Between the 1930s and 50s, evolutionary biologists developed a successful theory of why
organisms age, firmly rooted in population genetic principles. By the 1980s the evolution of …

Senescence in natural populations of animals: widespread evidence and its implications for bio-gerontology
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 …

Individuals and populations: the role of long-term, individual-based studies of animals in ecology and evolutionary biology
Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with
data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions …

Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade‐offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation
The concept of trade‐offs is central to our understanding of life‐history evolution. The
underlying mechanisms, however, have been little studied. Oxidative stress results from a …

Reproductive senescence: new perspectives in the wild
According to recent empirical studies, reproductive senescence, the decline in reproductive
success with increasing age, seems to be nearly ubiquitous in the wild. However, a clear …
