High heritability of telomere length and low heritability of telomere shortening in wild birds

Telomere length and telomere shortening predict survival in many organisms. This raises the question of the contribution of genetic and environmental effects to variation in these traits, which is still poorly known, particularly for telomere shortening. We used experimental (cross‐fostering) and st...
