Stochasticity explains non-genetic inheritance of lifespan and apparent trade-offs between reproduction and ageing

2023-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Stochastic effects are central to the biology and demography of ageing. Genetically identical individuals do not all die at the exact same time but show a distribution of lifespan. Although such effects are appreciated, any cascading effects from stochastic effects of ageing are underappreciated. We show here that genetically identical female flies ( Drosophila melanogaster ) that live long, produce longer lived...
