Aging is a complex biological process characterized by hallmark features accumulating over
the life course, shaping the individual's aging trajectory and subsequent disease risks. There …

Sexual dimorphism is a key factor to consider in the ageing process given the impact that it
has on life expectancy. The oxidative-inflammatory theory of ageing states that the ageing …

Cellular circadian clocks direct a daily transcriptional program that supports homeostasis
and resilience. Emerging evidence has demonstrated age-associated changes in circadian …

BACKGROUND Whereas early studies of animal evolution focused principally on the
adaptations of different species to their physical environment, more recent studies have …

Is senescence inevitable and universal for all living organisms, as evolutionary theories
predict? Although evidence generally supports this hypothesis, it has been proposed that …

Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in
lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and …

Converging lines of inquiry from across the social and biological sciences target the adult
sex ratio (ASR; the proportion of males in the adult population) as a fundamental population …

Comparative studies of mortality in the wild are necessary to understand the evolution of
aging; yet, ectothermic tetrapods are underrepresented in this comparative landscape …

Biomedical and clinical sciences are experiencing a renewed interest in the fact that males
and females differ in many anatomic, physiological, and behavioural traits. Sex differences …

Abstract The Early Bronze Age in Europe is characterized by social and genetic
transformations, starting in the early 3rd millennium BCE. New settlement and funerary …
