Sex differences in the genetic architecture of lifespan in a seed beetle: extreme inbreeding extends male lifespan.

BMC evolutionary biology - 6 Feb 2009

Bilde Trine, Maklakov Alexei A, Meisner Katrine, la Guardia Lucia, Friberg Urban

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sex differences in lifespan are ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom but the causes underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Several explanations based on asymmetrical inheritance patterns (sex chromosomes or mitochondrial DNA) have been proposed, but these ideas have rarely been tested experimentally. Alternatively, sexual dimorphism in lifespan could result from sex-specific...
