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

Telomere dynamic in humans and animals: Review and perspectives in environmental toxicology
Telomeres (TLs) play major roles in stabilizing the genome and are usually shortened with
ageing. The maintenance of TLs is ensured by two mechanisms involving telomerase (TA) …

Telomere length is repeatable, shortens with age and reproductive success, and predicts remaining lifespan in a long‐lived seabird
Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes, and their length is positively
correlated with individual health and lifespan across taxa. Longitudinal studies have …
