Fertility loss in otherwise healthy individuals can be an evolutionary conundrum. Most studies on the evolution of post-reproductive lifespan focus on the fitness effects of survival past the age of last reproduction. A complementary approach, which has been largely neglected, is to develop an understanding of the nature of variation in the mechanism underlying loss of fertility, ovarian apoptosis. Variation in...
