The multi-tissue DNA methylation estimator of chronological age (DNAm-age) has been
associated with a wide range of exposures and health outcomes. Still, it is unclear how …

Individual age can be used to design more efficient and suitable management plans in both
in situ and ex situ conservation programmes for targeted wildlife species. DNA methylation is …

In this review, we examine mammalian body size as it reflects life history and genomic
composition, with a primary focus on canids and the domestication of the gray wolf. The …

Age is an important parameter for bettering the understanding of biodemographic trends—
development, survival, reproduction and environmental effects—critical for conservation …

Introduction Behavioral traits are influenced by gene by environment interactions. To study
the genetic and epigenetic components of behavior, we analyzed whether dog behavioral …

Identifying genetic variants that are associated with methylation variation—an analysis
commonly referred to as methylation quantitative trait locus (mQTL) mapping—is important …

Age is a key parameter in population ecology, with a myriad of biological processes
changing with age as organisms develop in early life then later senesce. As age is often …

All living beings undergo systemic physiological decline after ontogeny, characterized as
aging. Modern medicine has increased the life expectancy, yet this has created an aged …

Age is a key demographic in conservation where age classes show differences in important
population metrics such as morbidity and mortality. Several traits, including reproductive …

The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is the longest-lived rodent, with a maximal
reported lifespan of 37 years. In addition to its long lifespan–which is much greater than …
