The evolutionary ecology of senescence

2008-06-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Research on senescence has largely focused on its underlying causes, and is concentrated on humans and relatively few model organisms in laboratory conditions. To understand the evolutionary ecology of senescence, research on a broader taxonomic range is needed, incorporating field, and, where possible, longitudinal studies. 2. Senescence is generally considered to involve progressive deterioration in performan...
