Quantitative genetics of age at reproduction in wild swans: support for antagonistic pleiotropy models of senescence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 25 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

Why do individuals stop reproducing after a certain age, and how is this age determined? The antagonistic pleiotropy theory for the evolution of senescence predicts that increased early-life performance should be accompanied by earlier (or faster) senescence. Hence, an individual that has started to breed early should also lose its reproductive capacities early. We investigate here the relationship between age at...
