[HTML][HTML] DNA methylation predicts age and provides insight into exceptional longevity of bats
Exceptionally long-lived species, including many bats, rarely show overt signs of aging,
making it difficult to determine why species differ in lifespan. Here, we use DNA methylation …

In social systems with alternative reproductive tactics, sneakers face a higher level of sperm
competition than harem males and hence are predicted to allocate more resources to …
