Telomerase activity in ecological studies: What are its consequences for individual physiology and is there evidence for effects and trade‐offs in wild populations
20 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence at the cellular level is helping to provide proximate explanations for the balance between investment in growth, reproduction and somatic maintenance in wild populations. Studies of telomere dynamics have informed researchers about the loss and gain of telomere length both on a seasonal scale and across the lifespan of individuals. In addition, telomere length and telomere rate of loss seems...
