Early-life adversity is associated with poorer health and survival in adulthood in humans and
other animals. One pathway by which early-life environmental stressors could affect the …

This article provides a brief historical perspective on the integration of physiology into the
concept of the pace of life of birds, evaluates the fit of immune function into this framework …

This study compares estimates of the census size of the spawning population with genetic
estimates of effective current and long‐term population size for an abundant and …

Understanding ageing and the diversity of life histories is a cornerstone in biology.
Telomeres, the protecting caps of chromosomes, are thought to be involved in ageing …

Background & aims Empirical analyses of the data available around the word concluded that
women have longer life span now, when compared to the men. Available literature …

Senescence–the progressive age-dependent decline in performance–occurs in most
organisms. There is considerable variation in the onset and rate of senescence between …

Telomere length (TL) and shortening is increasingly shown to predict variation in survival
and lifespan, raising the question of what causes variation in these traits. Oxidative stress is …

In this article, we suggest that aging and development are two sides of the same coin, and
that developing a comprehensive understanding of health and disease risk requires …

Understanding individual variation in fitness‐related traits requires separating the
environmental and genetic determinants. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of …

Early‐life conditions can drive ageing patterns and life history strategies throughout the
lifespan. Certain social, genetic and nutritional developmental conditions are more likely to …
