Testing Finch's hypothesis: The role of organismal modularity on the escape from actuarial senescence
Until recently, senescence was assumed to be a universal phenomenon. Evolutionary theories of senescence predict that no organism may escape the physiological decline that results in an increase in mortality risk and/or decline in fertility with age. However, evidence both in animals and plants has...
