Intergenerational transfers may have decoupled physiological and chronological age in a eusocial insect.

Ageing research reviews - 1 Aug 2005

Amdam Gro V, Page Robert E

Abstract excerpt

Life-history theory generally predicts that there should be no selection for longevity beyond the limit of reproductive capacity. However, the capacity to increase fitness may not end when individuals reach a state of functional sterility. Recent studies show that intergenerational transfers of resources from post-reproductive parents can increase the offspring's fitness, and analytical theory shows that...
