Longevity due to T cyc appeared predominantly independent of clock gene amplitude in female D. melanogaster...

... and longevity may benefit from more tests in a comparative evolutionary framework. 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. We thank our lab members, two anonymous...

Champagne ABSTRACT There is ample evidence that cell membrane architecture contributes to metabolism and aging in animals; however, the aspects of this architecture that determine the rate of metabolism and longevity are still being...

... 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. I summarise the relevant aspects of vertebrate telomere...

At the adult stage, while longevity was not sex dependent and was not affected by the treatment, body mass and body size of adult males from the reconstruction treatment were significantly lower than the control values. This unexpected sex effect together with data on oxidative stress highlights the difficulty...
