The shelterin protein expansion of telomere dynamics: Linking early life adversity, life history, and the hallmarks of aging
Aging is characterized by functional decline occurring alongside changes to several
hallmarks of aging. One of the hallmarks includes attrition of repeated DNA sequences …

Increased glucocorticoid concentrations in early life cause mitochondrial inefficiency and short telomeres
Telomeres are DNA structures that protect chromosome ends. However, telomeres shorten
during cell replication and at critically low lengths can reduce cell replicative potential …

Longer telomeres during early life predict higher lifetime reproductive success in females but not males
The mechanisms that contribute to variation in lifetime reproductive success are not well
understood. One possibility is that telomeres, conserved DNA sequences at chromosome …

Lizards from warm and declining populations are born with extremely short telomeres
Aging is the price to pay for acquiring and processing energy through cellular activity and life
history productivity. Climate warming can exacerbate the inherent pace of aging, as …

Of telomeres and temperature: measuring thermal effects on telomeres in ectothermic animals
Ectotherms are classic models for understanding life‐history tradeoffs, including the
reproduction–somatic maintenance tradeoffs that may be reflected in telomere length and …
