Ageing in a variable habitat: environmental stress affects senescence in parasite resistance in St Kilda Soay sheep
Despite widespread empirical evidence for a general deterioration in the majority of traits with advancing age, it is unclear whether the progress of senescence is chronologically determined, or whether factors such as environmental conditions experienced over the lifespan are more important. We exp...
