Telomere length positively correlates with pace‐of‐life in a sex‐ and cohort‐specific way and elongates with age in a wild mammal

16 May 2022

Abstract excerpt

Understanding ageing and the diversity of life histories is a cornerstone in biology. Telomeres, the protecting caps of chromosomes, are thought to be involved in ageing, cancer risks and life-history strategies. They shorten with cell division and age in somatic tissues of most species, possibly limiting lifespan. The resource allocation trade-off hypothesis predicts that short telomeres have thus coevolved with...
