The existing theories on the evolution of senescence assume that
senescence is inevitable in all organisms. However, recent studies
have shown that this is not necessarily true. A better
understanding of senescence and its underlying mechanisms could
have far-reaching consequences for conservation and
eco-evolutionary research. This book is the first to offer
interdisciplinary perspectives on the evolution of senescence in
many species, setting the stage for further developments. It brings
together new insights from a wide range of scientific fields and
cutting-edge research done on a multitude of different animals
(including humans), plants and microbes, giving the reader a
complete overview of recent developments and of the controversies
currently surrounding the topic. Written by specialists from a
variety of disciplines, this book is a valuable source of
information for students and researchers interested in ageing and
life history traits and populations.
