Starting with a handicap: effects of asynchronous hatching on growth rate, oxidative stress and telomere dynamics in free-living great tits
A trade-off between resource investment into growth rate and body self-maintenance is likely
to occur, but the underlying molecular mediators of such a trade-off remain to be determined …

[HTML][HTML] Sex differences in sand lizard telomere inheritance: paternal epigenetic effects increases telomere heritability and offspring survival
Background To date, the only estimate of the heritability of telomere length in wild
populations comes from humans. Thus, there is a need for analysis of natural populations …

Age and heat stress as determinants of telomere length in a long-lived fish, the Siberian sturgeon
R Simide, F Angelier, S Gaillard… - Physiological and …, 2016 - journals.uchicago.edu
Telomeres shorten at each cell division due to the end-replication problem but also in
response to oxidative stress. Consequently, telomeres shorten with age in many …

[HTML][HTML] Repeated stressors in adulthood increase the rate of biological ageing
Background Individuals of the same age can differ substantially in the degree to which they
have accumulated tissue damage, akin to bodily wear and tear, from past experiences. This …

When does early‐life telomere length predict survival? A case study and meta‐analysis
Suboptimal conditions during development can shorten telomeres, the protective DNA caps
on the end of chromosomes. Shorter early‐life telomere length (TL) can indicate reduced …
