In wild animal conservation, knowing the age of an individual animal is extremely beneficial.
However, estimating the age is difficult for many species. Recently, epigenetics-based …

DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging have been developed for many mammals but
not yet for the vervet monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus), which is a valuable non-human …

Inferring the chronological and biological age of individuals is fundamental to population
ecology and our understanding of ageing itself, its evolution, and the biological processes …

Age is an essential trait for understanding the ecology and management of wildlife. A
conventional method of estimating age in wild animals is counting annuli formed in the …

Several articles describe highly accurate age estimation methods based on human DNA-
methylation data. It is not yet known whether similar epigenetic aging clocks can be …

Animal age data are valuable for management of wildlife populations. Yet, for most species,
there is no practical method for determining the age of unknown individuals. However …

Age determination of wild animals, including pinnipeds, is critical for accurate population
assessment and management. For most pinnipeds, current age estimation methodologies …

Age estimation in forensic investigations may complement the prediction of externally visible
characteristics and the inference of biogeographical ancestry, thus allowing a better …

Age estimation using DNA methylation levels has been widely investigated in recent years
because of its potential application in forensic genetics. The main aim of this study was to …
