Social nonhuman animals are powerful models for studying underlying factors related to
lifelong health outcomes following early life adversities (ELAs). ELAs can be linked to …

Primates are characterized by relatively late ages at first reproduction, long lives and low
fertility. Together, these traits define a life-history of reduced reproductive effort …

Social integration and support can have profound effects on human survival. The extent of
this phenomenon in non-human animals is largely unknown, but such knowledge is …

Aging, for virtually all life, is inescapable. However, within populations, biological aging rates
vary. Understanding sources of variation in this process is central to understanding the …

This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic
perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular …

In humans and other animals, harsh circumstances in early life predict morbidity and
mortality in adulthood. Multiple adverse conditions are thought to be especially toxic, but this …

For social species, the environment has two components: physical and social. The social
environment modifies the individual's interaction with the physical environment, and the …

Genetic admixture is central to primate evolution. We combined 50 years of field
observations of immigration and group demography with genomic data from~ 9 generations …

Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably
over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of …

Age-related changes in fertility have increasingly been documented in wild animal
populations: In many species the youngest and oldest reproducers are disadvantaged …
