Sex differences in longevity can provide insights into novel mechanisms of aging, yet they
have been little studied. Surprisingly, sex-specific longevity patterns are best known in wild …

That senescence is rarely, if ever, observed in natural populations is an oft-quoted fallacy
within bio-gerontology. We identify the roots of this fallacy in the otherwise seminal works of …

Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with
data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions …

Research programmes on oxidative stress and hormesis are wide ranging. Biomedical and
toxicological sciences have traditionally centralised such research, but in the last years we …

According to recent empirical studies, reproductive senescence, the decline in reproductive
success with increasing age, seems to be nearly ubiquitous in the wild. However, a clear …

Why do the two sexes have different lifespans and rates of aging? Two hypotheses based
on asymmetric inheritance of sex chromosomes (“unguarded X”) or mitochondrial genomes …

Age-related changes in fertility have increasingly been documented in wild animal
populations: In many species the youngest and oldest reproducers are disadvantaged …

Most evidence for advances in phenology of in response to recent climate warming in wild
vertebrate populations has come from long‐term studies of birds. Few studies have either …

Williams' evolutionary theory of senescence based on antagonistic pleiotropy has become a
landmark in evolutionary biology, and more recently in biogerontology and evolutionary …

The degree to which changes in lifespan are coupled to changes in senescence in different
physiological systems and phenotypic traits is a central question in biogerontology. It is …
