Following the discoveries of telomeres and of their implications in terms of health and
ageing, there has been a growing interest into the study of telomere dynamics in wild …

Individual differences in telomere length have been linked to survival and senescence.
Understanding the heritability of telomere length can provide important insight into individual …

Climate warming is increasingly exposing wildlife to sublethal high temperatures, which may
lead to chronic impacts and reduced fitness. Telomere length (TL) may link heat exposure to …

Telomeres are protective caps at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes that shorten with age
and in response to stressful or resource‐demanding conditions. Their length predicts …

Understanding individual‐level variation in response to the environment is fundamental to
understanding life‐history evolution and population dynamics. Telomeres, the protective …

Although exposure to stressors is known to increase disease susceptibility and accelerate
ageing, evidence is accumulating that these effects can span more than one generation …

Individual variation in survival probability due to differential responses to early‐life
environmental conditions is important in the evolution of life histories and senescence. A …

Telomere length (TL) is considered an important biomarker of whole-organism health and
aging. Across humans and other vertebrates, short telomeres are associated with increased …

Telomere length and telomere shortening predict survival in many organisms. This raises
the question of the contribution of genetic and environmental effects to variation in these …

Telomere‐induced selection could take place if telomere‐associated disease risk shortens
reproductive life span and differently reduces relative fitness among individuals. Some of …
