Telomere length is highly repeatable and shorter in individuals with more elaborate sexual ornamentation in a short‐lived passerine

12 Feb 2022

Abstract excerpt

Quantifying an individual's state as a fitness proxy has proven challenging, but accumulating evidence suggests that telomere length and attrition may indicate individual somatic state and success at self-maintenance, respectively. Sexual ornamentation is also thought to signal phenotypic quality, but links between telomeres and sexual ornamentation have been little explored. To address this issue, we examined...
