Longitudinal demographic study of wild populations of African annual killifish
AbstractThe natural history of model organisms is often overlooked despite its importance to correctly interpret the outcome of laboratory studies. Ageing is particularly understudied in natural populations. To address this gap, we present lifetime demographic data from wild populations of an annual species, the turquoise killifish,Nothobranchius ...
