Slow life-history strategies are associated with negligible actuarial senescence in western Palearctic salamanders

2019-04-26

Abstract excerpt

Actuarial senescence (hereafter “senescence”) has been viewed for a long time as an inevitable and uniform process. However, the work on senescence has mainly focused on endotherms (especially mammals) with deterministic growth and low regeneration capacity at adult stages, leading to a strong taxonomic bias in the study of aging. Recent studies have highlighted that senescence could indeed display highly variable...
