Maternal Effect Senescence and Fitness: A Demographic Analysis of a Novel Model Organism

2019-11-20

Abstract excerpt

Maternal effect senescence—a decline in offspring fitness with maternal age—has been demonstrated in a range of taxa, including humans. Despite decades of phenotypic studies, it remains unclear how maternal effect senescence impacts population structure or evolutionary fitness. To understand the impact of maternal effect senescence on population dynamics, fitness, and selection, we used data from individual-based...
