Temporal scaling of ageing as an adaptive strategy of <i>Escherichia coli</i>

2018-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection has long been hypothesised to shape ageing patterns, but whether and how ageing contributes to life-history evolution remains elusive. The complexity of various ageing-associated molecular mechanisms and their inherent stochasticity hinder reductionist approaches to the understanding of functional senescence, i.e . reduced fecundity and increased mortality. Recent bio-demographic work demonstrat...
