Experimental evolution of slowed cognitive aging in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2017

Zwoinska Martyna K, Maklakov Alexei A, Kawecki Tadeusz J, Hollis Brian

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive output and cognitive performance decline in parallel during aging, but it is unknown whether this reflects a shared genetic architecture or merely the declining force of natural selection acting independently on both traits. We used experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster to test for the presence of genetic variation for slowed cognitive aging, and assess its independence from that...
