Behavioral development is a lifelong process where cognitive traits such as learning and
memory may be expected to take quadratic or linear trajectories. It is common practice for …

Much telomere loss takes place during the period of most rapid growth when cell
proliferation and potentially energy expenditure are high. Fast growth is linked to reduced …

DNA methylation profiles have been used to develop biomarkers of aging known as
epigenetic clocks, which predict chronological age with remarkable accuracy and show …

This is the first book to collate and synthesize the recent burgeoning primary research
literature on dog behaviour, evolution, and cognition. The author presents a new ecological …

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 …

The domestic dog represents one of the most dramatic long-term evolutionary experiments
undertaken by humans. From a large wolf-like progenitor, unparalleled diversity in …

Mammals have evolved a remarkable diversity of ageing rates. Within the single order of
Rodentia, maximum lifespans range from 4 years in mice to 32 years in naked mole rats …

Around the world, human populations have experienced large increases in average lifespan
over the last 150 years, and while individuals are living longer, they are spending more …

Studies of the basic biology of aging have identified several genetic and pharmacological
interventions that appear to modulate the rate of aging in laboratory model organisms, but a …

The trade-off between survival and reproduction is the bedrock of the evolutionary theory of
ageing. The reproductive system regulates ageing of the soma, and removal of germ cells …
