Outbreeding alleviates senescence in hermaphroditic snails as expected from the mutation-accumulation theory.

Current biology : CB - 24 Jun 2008

Escobar Juan S, Jarne Philippe, Charmantier Anne, David Patrice

Abstract excerpt

Senescence, the decline in fitness components of an organism with age [1], is a nearly universal characteristic of living beings [2-6]. This ubiquity is challenging because natural selection does not favor the evolution of traits decreasing fitness [1, 7, 8]. Senescence may result from two nonexc...
