Ageing as “early‐life inertia”: Disentangling life‐history trade‐offs along a lifetime of an individual [PDF]
The theory that ageing evolves because of competitive resource allocation between the soma and the germline has been challenged by studies showing that somatic maintenance can be improved without impairing reproduction.
