Sex-specific patterns of senescence in artificial insect populations varying in sex-ratio to manipulate reproductive effort
BACKGROUND: The disposable soma theory of ageing assumes that organisms optimally trade-off limited resources between reproduction and longevity to maximize fitness. Early reproduction should especially trade-off against late reproduction and longevity because of reduced investment into somatic prot...
