Density dependence, lifespan and the evolutionary dynamics of longevity.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 2009

Bonsall Michael B, Mangel Marc

Abstract excerpt

Longevity is a life-history trait that is shaped by natural selection. Evolution will shape mortality trajectories and lifespans, but until now the evolutionary analysis of longevity is based principally on a density-independent (Euler-Lotka) framework. The effects of density dependence on the evolution of lifespan and mortality remain largely unexplored. We investigate the influence of different population...
