Sex-specific patterns of senescence in artificial insect populations varying in sex-ratio to manipulate reproductive effort

2020-01-24

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> The disposable soma theory of ageing assumes that organisms optimally trade-off limited resources between reproduction and longevity to maximize fitness. Early reproduction should especially trade-off against late reproduction and longevity because of reduced investment into somatic protection, including immunity. Moreover, as optimal reproductive strategies of...
