Sex differences in sand lizard telomere inheritance: paternal epigenetic effects increases telomere heritability and offspring survival
BACKGROUND: To date, the only estimate of the heritability of telomere length in wild populations comes from humans. Thus, there is a need for analysis of natural populations with respect to how telomeres evolve. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we show that telomere length is heritable in fre...
