Abstract excerpt
AbstractUnderstanding within-population variation in aging rates across different phenotypic traits is a central focus of biogerontological studies. Early evolutionary models predict that natural selection acts to cause all traits to deteriorate simultaneously. However, observations of aging rates provide evidence for widespread patterns of asynchronous aging in laboratory and natural populations. Recent verbal...
