Age structure is a fundamental aspect of animal population biology. Age is strongly related
to individual physiological condition, reproductive potential and mortality rate. Currently …

DNA methylation (DNAm) is a key mechanism for regulating gene expression in animals
and levels are known to change with age. Recent studies have used DNAm changes as a …

Epigenetic approaches for estimating the age of living organisms are revolutionizing studies
of long‐lived species. Molecular biomarkers that allow age estimates from small tissue …

Abstract Changes in DNA methylation at specific CpG sites have been used to build
predictive models to estimate animal age, predominantly in mammals. Little testing for this …

Inferring the chronological and biological age of individuals is fundamental to population
ecology and our understanding of ageing itself, its evolution, and the biological processes …

Age structure information of animal populations is fundamental to their conservation and
management. In fisheries, age is routinely obtained by counting daily or annual increments …

Age constitutes a critical parameter for the study of animal populations, providing information
about development, environmental effects, survival, and reproduction. Unfortunately, age …

Age‐based demography is fundamental to management of wild fish populations. Age
estimates for individuals can determine rates of change in key life‐history parameters such …

Age‐related changes in DNA methylation do occur. Taking advantage of this, mammalian
and avian epigenetic clocks have been constructed to predict age. In fish, studies on age …

Epigenetics, specifically DNA methylation, allows for the estimation of animal age from blood
or remotely sampled skin. This multi-tissue epigenetic age estimation clock uses 110 …
