Evolution of maternal effect senescence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 12 Jan 2016

Moorad Jacob A, Nussey Daniel H

Abstract excerpt

Increased maternal age at reproduction is often associated with decreased offspring performance in numerous species of plants and animals (including humans). Current evolutionary theory considers such maternal effect senescence as part of a unified process of reproductive senescence, which is under identical age-specific selective pressures to fertility. We offer a novel theoretical perspective by combining...
