Recent discoveries of the levelling of mortality curves, and of age specific mutations in mutation accumulation lines of, require adjustments to the original models of the evolution of ageing and species longevity. These adjustments do not invalidate the underlying rationale of evolutionary theories of ...
According to the classic theory of life history evolution, ageing evolves because selection on traits necessarily weakens throughout reproductive life. But this inexorable decline of the selection force with adult age was shown to crucially depend on spe

the evolution of ageing and, more specifically, the evolution of human ageing. Historical aspects of this evolution will be discussed. Evidence from a variety of sources shows that the human lifespan is increasing, and may well continue to increase to levels that are difficult to predict. In ...
Human longevity at the cost of reproductive success. The disposable soma theory on the evolution of ageing states that longevity requires investments in somatic maintenance that reduce the resources available... RGJ Westendorp,TBL Kirkwood - 《Nature》 被引量: 946发表: 1998年 A description of the...

Laura has a broad interest in ageing, sexual selection, and evolutionary genetics. In particular, she is interested in understanding how trade-offs between life history traits such as reproduction and lifespan drive evolutionary change. The cost of longevity: BBSRC funding came through!!
China and the US will play a much smaller role within 50 years time and the bulk of the world's mined phosphorus will come from Morocco. A conservative estimate of longevity of the resource shows that at a 1% exponential increase... A Rosemarin,JJ Schroder,L Dagerskog,... - In: Pro...
