Reproductive cessation and post-reproductive lifespan in Asian elephants and pre-industrial humans

11 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Short post-reproductive lifespan is widespread across species, but prolonged post-reproductive life-stages of potential adaptive significance have been reported only in few mammals with extreme longevity. Long post-reproductive lifespan contradicts classical evolutionary predictions of simultaneous senescence in survival and reproduction, and raises the question of whether extreme longevity in...
