Most research on mechanisms of aging is being conducted in a very limited number of
classical model species, ie, laboratory mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus …

Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model
system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies …

INTRODUCTION The ability to regenerate tissues lost to damage or disease is widely but
nonuniformly distributed in vertebrates. Some animals such as teleost fishes can regenerate …

Animals exhibit an extraordinary diversity of life history strategies. These realized
combinations of survival, development and reproduction are predicted to be constrained by …

To uncover the selective forces shaping life-history trait evolution across species, we
investigate the genomic basis underlying adaptations to seasonal habitat desiccation in …

Turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) are naturally short-lived vertebrates that display a
wide range of spontaneous age-related changes, including onset of cancer, reduced …

The turquoise killifish, Nothobranchius furzeri, is a promising vertebrate model in ageing
research and an emerging model organism in genomics, regenerative medicine …

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the fourth most-produced species in worldwide
aquaculture. Significant efforts are invested in breeding and preservation of genetic integrity …

Pituitary hormones play a central role in shaping vertebrate life history events, including
growth, reproduction, metabolism, and aging. The regulation of these traits often requires …

Classical evolutionary theories propose tradeoffs among reproduction, damage repair and
lifespan. However, the specific role of the germline in shaping vertebrate aging remains …
