According to life history theory, increased investment in reproductive function (physiology
and behaviour) at different times throughout the life course affects the risk of many diseases …

Mitochondria are fundamental organelles in eukaryotic cells that provide ATP through
oxidative phosphorylation. During this process, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are …

Interest in incorporating life history research from evolutionary biology into the human
sciences has grown rapidly in recent years. Two core features of this research have the …

Simple Summary In beef cattle and other livestock species, temperament can be considered
as their behavioral responses to human interaction. Temperament evaluation allows …

Evolutionary theory predicts that reproduction entails costs that detract from somatic
maintenance, accelerating biological aging. Despite support from studies in human and non …

Evolutionary theories of ageing point to reproduction as a significant factor to consider when
asking why ageing occurs and why there is inter-individual variation in its progression …

Economic models predominate in life history research, which investigates the allocation of
an organism's resources to growth, reproduction, and maintenance. These approaches …

Background Women's reproduction requires increased energy demands, which
consequently may lead to cellular damage and aging. Hence, Telomere Length (TL), a …

Background Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are endocrine disrupting
chemicals that have myriad effects on human physiology. Estrogenic PFASs may influence …

Two independent lines of inquiry suggest that growing up under conditions of contextual
