J Exp Biol (2025) 228 (2): jeb249738.
Published: 17 January 2025
...Negin Fallah; Owen N. Beck ABSTRACT Older adults walk using their hips relatively more and their ankles relatively less than young adults. This ‘distal-to-proximal redistribution’ in leg joint mechanics is thought to drive the age-related increase in metabolic rate during walking. However, many...

...Shira D. Gordon; James F. C. Windmill ABSTRACT Insects display signs of ageing, despite their short lifespan. However, the limited studies on senescence emphasize longevity or reproduction. We focused on the hearing ability of ageing adult locusts, Schistocerca gregaria . Our results indicate...

... to resource availability, particularly as a function of depth. We investigated how foraging and diving abilities vary with age in a long-lived seabird. During two breeding seasons, small accelerometers were deployed on young (5 year old) and older (8/9 year old) brooding king penguins ( Aptenodytes...

... stores (blood volume and muscle myoglobin) and diving behavior in adult female northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris , to investigate age-related effects on diving performance. Blood volume averaged 74.4±17.0 liters in female elephant seals or 20.2±2.0% of body mass. Plasma volume averaged...

... shortening (before take-off). In old age, muscular force is reduced,but the deficit in force is less during stretching than during shortening. The greater loss in concentric versus eccentric strength with aging led us to hypothesize that older versus younger adults would increase the landing–take-off...

...Mark A. Chappell; Enrico L. Rezende; Kimberly A. Hammond SUMMARY Age impacts the phenotype of all multicellular animals, but lifetime changes in physiological traits are poorly understood for all but a few species. Here, we describe a cross-sectional study of age effects on body composition...

... of the topographic anatomy and biology of this species are described. To standardize experimental animals in future studies, the effects of age, sex and trematode infestation on the regeneration capacity of H. ulvae have been evaluated. The high capacity for regeneration together with the possibility of using...
