Mortality rate acceleration and post-reproductive lifespan in matrilineal whale species.
The strength of selection to increase the span of a life stage is dependent upon individuals at that stage being able to contribute towards individual fitness and the probability of their surviving to that stage. Complete reproductive cessation and a long post-reproductive female lifespan as found in humans are also found in killer whale (Orcinus orca) and short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala...
متن کاملGrandparenting and the evolution of post-reproductive lifespan PI: Gurven
Project Summary The proposed research will investigate the biodemography of longevity and the behavioral contributions of post-reproductive individuals among the Tsimane, a traditional population subsisting on a combination of foraging and simple horticulture. It seeks to explain why the human lifespan is extended in comparison to other primates and mammals of similar body size. Although the ex...
متن کاملFemale post-reproductive lifespan: a general mammalian trait.
Traditional explanations for the evolution of menopause and post-reproductive lifespan in human females have been based on the benefits of maternal or grand-maternal care outweighing the cost of lost reproduction. These explanations assume an evolutionary origin of menopause since human divergence with the most recent common ancestor. In this study, I conduct a literature survey of studies of 4...
متن کاملPost-exercise heart rate variability in the acceleration photoplethysmogram
There is a limited number of studies on heart rate variability (HRV) dynamics immediately after exercise. It is well-known that the electrocardiogram is a non-invasive method that can be used to measure heart rate variability (HRV) at rest and after exercise. Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals also reflect the cardiac rhythm since the mechanical activity of the heart is coupled to its electrical ...
متن کاملDependence of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae post-reproductive lifespan on the reproductive potential.
The lifespan of budding yeast cells is divided into two stages: reproductive and post-reproductive. The post-reproductive stage of the yeast's lifespan has never been characterized before. We have analyzed the influence of various mutations on the post-reproductive (PRLS) and replicative (RLS) lifespans. The results indicate that PRLS demonstrates an inverse relationship with RLS. The observed ...
