Further studies are needed to better understand how mortality sources at different life stages interplay to shape broad phenotypic variation in physiological and life history traits. Adult...

... exposure can affect health and longevity over long time frames is via effects on telomere dynamics. Much of this work has so far been done on humans, and is correlational in nature, but studies on other taxa, and experimental work, are increasing.
