Re-wilding Model Organisms: Opportunities to test causal mechanisms in social determinants of health and aging
Social experiences are strongly associated with individuals' health, aging, and survival in
many mammalian taxa, including humans. Despite their role as models of many other …

[HTML][HTML] Rank-related contrasts in longevity arise from extra-group excursions not delayed senescence in a cooperative mammal
In many cooperatively breeding animal societies, breeders outlive non-breeding
subordinates, despite investing heavily in reproduction [1–3]. In eusocial insects, the …
