A scenario for an evolutionary selection of ageing

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: Building upon the evolutionarily conserved age-related Smurf phenotype the authors propose a simple mathematical life-history trait model in which an organism is characterized by two core abilities: reproduction and homeostasis. Through the simulation of this model the authors observe 1) the convergence of fertility`s end with the onset of senescence 2) the relative success of ageing populations as compared to nonageing populations and 3) the enhanced evolvability (i.e. the generation of genetic variability) of ageing populations. The authors explore the convergence of_(xb - xd) without the strong transgenerational effect of ageing. The . . .
