Age-dependent decline in sperm quality and function in a naturally short-lived vertebrate

Abstract excerpt

Maximizing the life-long reproductive output would lead to the prediction that short-lived and fast aging species would undergo no - if any - reproductive senescence. Turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) are naturally short-lived teleosts, and undergo extensive somatic aging, characterized by molecular, cellular, and organ dysfunction following the onset of sexual maturation. Here, we tested whether...
