Genetic Regulation of Physiological Reproductive Lifespan and Female Fertility [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 There is substantial genetic variation for common traits associated with reproductive lifespan and for common diseases influencing female fertility. Progress in high-throughput sequencing and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our ...

The evolution of senescence and post-reproductive lifespan in guppies (Poecilia reticulata). [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 The study of post-reproductive lifespan has been of interest primarily with regard to the extended post-menopausal lifespan seen in humans. This unusual feature of human demography has been hypothesized to have evolved because of the "grandmother" effect,

The Effect of Post-Reproductive Lifespan on the Fixation Probability of Beneficial Mutations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Post-reproductive lifespan is a common trait among mammals and is usually considered to be neutral; i.e. with no influence on population dynamics. Here, we explore the role of post-reproductive lifespan in the fixation probability of beneficial genetic ...

Reproductive capability is associated with lifespan and cause of death in companion dogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Reproduction is a risky affair; a lifespan cost of maintaining reproductive capability, and of reproduction itself, has been demonstrated in a wide range of animal species.

Reproductive cessation and post-reproductive lifespan in Asian elephants and pre-industrial humans [PDF]
, 2022 Conclusions: Our results show that the reproductive and survival patterns of Asian elephants differ from other long-lived animals exhibiting menopause, such as humans, and extreme longevity alone does not promote the evolution of menopause or post ...

Gene pathways that delay Caenorhabditis elegans reproductive senescence. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Reproductive senescence is a hallmark of aging. The molecular mechanisms regulating reproductive senescence and its association with the aging of somatic cells remain poorly understood.

Reproductive-dependent effects of B vitamin deficiency on lifespan and physiology
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 B vitamins constitute essential micronutrients in animal organisms, executing crucial roles in numerous biological processes. B vitamin deficiency can result in severe health consequences, including the impairment of reproductive functions and increased ...
