Slow life-history strategies are associated with negligible actuarial senescence in western Palearctic salamanders
Hugo Cayuela,Kurtuluş Olgun,Claudio Angelini,Nazan Üzüm,Olivier Peyronel,Claude Miaud,Aziz Avcı,Jean-François Lemaître,Benedikt R. Schmidt +8 more
TL;DR: Investigating senescence patterns in a group of salamanders from the Western Palearctic using capture-recapture data and Bayesian modeling showed that salamander have slow life histories and that they experience negligible Senescence, suggesting that the absence of senescences may be a phylogenetically conserved trait.
Coûts de la reproduction chez les femelles de chamois des Alpes (Rupicapra rupicapra)
Audrée Morin
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: The results suggest that reproductive tactics and costs vary strongly with age in this species, and old females showed no costs of reproduction and were heavier than prime-aged females, suggesting reproductive restraint in late life.
