Telomeres in a spatial context: a tool for understanding ageing pattern variation in wild populations
Ageing refers to the loss of organismal functionality with age, a process that is characterised
by decreased reproduction and survival probability. In natural populations, it is expected that …

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 …
