The tarnished silver spoon? Trade‐off between prenatal growth and telomere length in wild boar

23 Oct 2021

Abstract excerpt

Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between growth rates and lifespan, which is reflected by telomere length, a biomarker of somatic state. We investigated the correlation between telomere length and early-life growth of wild boar piglets, Sus scrofa, kept under semi-natural conditions with high food availability to examine our hypothesis that increased pre- and postnatal growth will lead to telomere length...
