HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Groningen and colleagues from the University of have published the Article: The evolution of ageing in cooperative breeders, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of March/22,/2022
- what: In evolutionary individual-based simulations, the authors show that natural selection favors a delayed onset of senescence in cooperative breeders, relative to solitary breeders, because cooperative breeders have a delayed age of first reproduction as helpers wait in a reproductive queue to obtain breeder status. The authors show that lower genetic relatedness among group members leads to the evolution of longer lifespans. Using evolutionary individual-based simulations . . .
