This project investigates how environmental factors influence the lifespan of organisms, particularly focusing on the nematode C. elegans. It aims to understand the trade-offs between resource allocation for self-maintenance and reproduction, exploring how these dynamics affect aging and fitness in varying nutrient con…
The lifespan of genetically identical organisms varies depending on the environment they are exposed to. A well-known example is the extension of lifespan by nutrient restriction, as observed in animals as diverse as nematodes and rhesus monkeys.
Why does the lifespan of animals change with environmental conditions?
Is there an advantage to living longer when food is poor, and to living shorter when food is plentiful?Evolutionary theory, known as the disposable soma theory (DST), proposes that o…
