[HTML][HTML] Does oxidative stress shorten telomeres in vivo? A meta-analysis
E Armstrong, J Boonekamp - Ageing Research Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
Telomere attrition is considered a hallmark of ageing. Untangling the proximate causes of
telomere attrition may therefore reveal important aspects about the ageing process. In a …

Decline in telomere length with increasing age across nonhuman vertebrates: A meta‐analysis
The prediction that telomere length (TL) shortens with increasing age is a major element in
considering the role of telomeres as a key player in evolution. While telomere attrition is …

No sex differences in adult telomere length across vertebrates: a meta-analysis
In many mammalian species, females live on average longer than males. In humans,
women have consistently longer telomeres than men, and this has led to speculation that …

Do telomeres influence pace‐of‐life‐strategies in response to environmental conditions over a lifetime and between generations?
The complexity of the physiological phenotype currently prevents us from identifying an
integrative measure to assess how the internal state and environmental conditions modify …

Telomere length is reflected by plumage coloration and predicts seasonal reproductive success in the barn swallow
M Parolini, A Romano, A Costanzo… - Molecular …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Individuals differ in realized fitness but the genetic/phenotypic traits that underpin such
variation are often unknown. Telomere dynamics may be a major source of variation in …

Telomere length is highly repeatable and shorter in individuals with more elaborate sexual ornamentation in a short‐lived passerine
T Kauzálová, O Tomášek, E Mulder… - Molecular …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Quantifying an individual's state as a fitness proxy has proven challenging, but accumulating
evidence suggests that telomere length and attrition may indicate individual somatic state …

Telomere lengths correlate with fitness but assortative mating by telomeres confers no benefit to fledgling recruitment
Assortative mating by telomere lengths has been observed in several bird species, and in
some cases may increase fitness of individuals. Here we examined the relationship between …

Protoporphyrin‐based eggshell pigmentation predicts hatching success and offspring sex ratio in the barn swallow
Inter‐and intraspecific variation in eggshell colouration has long fascinated evolutionary
biologists. Among species, such variation may accomplish different functions, the most …

Telomere length links with physiological phenotype and breeding patterns in a long-lived seabird
M Guillen-Parra, A Velando, R Barcenas-Flores… - …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Telomere length (TL) is known to covary with a suite of physiological traits involved in
energy balances that may influence breeding success. Thus, TL may be an indicator of …

Extrapair fertilizations vary with female traits and pair composition, besides male attractiveness, in barn swallows
Reproductive promiscuity, whereby females are fertilized by extrapair mates, is common.
The frequency of extrapair fertilizations (EPFs) depends on at least three sources of …
