Intergenerational Transfer of Ageing: Parental Age and Offspring Lifespan

30 Jul 2020

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which the age of parents at reproduction can affect offspring lifespan and other fitness-related traits is important in our understanding of the selective forces shaping life history evolution. In this article, the widely reported negative effects of parental age on offspring lifespan (the 'Lansing effect') is examined. Outlined herein are the potential routes whereby a Lansing effect can occur,...
