Biomarkers that correlate with age are essential tools for understanding aging and lifespan variation. DNA methylation (DNAm) changes predictably with age in parts of the genome. In humans, epigenetic...

Analyses of deidentified data reveal complex interactions that quantify success at elite general science journals.

Abstract. DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a key role in mediating phenotypic responses to environmental variation. Various approaches exist to link DNAm varia

Jong Geleerd: Hoe meer kinderen een moeder krijgt, hoe minder lang ze zelf leeft. Tenminste, dat gold voor Finse moeders ten tijde van de Grote Finse Hongersnood. Deze en andere opmerkelijke feiten de...

Natal dispersal is a key life history trait determining fitness and driving population dynamics, genetic structure, and species distributions. Despite existing evidence that not all phenotypes are eq...

Recent research in humans and both model and non-model animals has shown that DNA methylation (DNAm), an epigenetic modification, is one of the mechanisms underlying the ageing process. DNAm-based in...

Swiss birth data from 1750 to 1870 reveal that girls who had lots of older brothers close to their own age were less likely to survive than were those who did not.

As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C-band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grass...

Altricial species rely on parental provisioning for early-life sustenance, and a larger brood size leads to higher levels of competition between siblings for food provided by the parents. Early-life s...
