Reproductive senescence in female Soay sheep: variation across traits and contributions of individual ageing and selective disappearance (2013, background): “Senescence manifests itself as a deterioration in body condition and demographic parameters such as reproduc- tive performance and survival probability (Monaghan et al. 2008).”
Senescence in natural populations of animals: Widespread evidence and its implications for bio-gerontology (2012, background): “This reflects a growng interest among evolutionary ecologists in the physiological rocesses underpinning age-related declines in survival and reprouctive performance (Monaghan et al., 2008).”
The evolution of senescence from a comparative perspective (2008, background): “Theories about the genetic mechanisms causing increasing mortality with age fall into three categories: (i) mutation accumulation, (ii) antagonistic pleiotropy and (iii) prevention and repair mechanisms (Hughes & Reynolds 2005; Monaghan et al. 2008).”
The role of constraints and limitation in driving individual variation in immune response (2011, background): “the immune system) to increase investment in reproduction, called the ‘terminal investment’ hypothesis (Monaghan et al. 2008).”
An integrative study of ageing in a wild population of common lizards (2011, background): “Indeed, it could bemisleading to consider only average age-specific patterns because age variations may depend on environmental conditions, life-history traits and reproductive costs (Nussey et al. 2006; Monaghan et al. 2008; Reed et al. 2008).”
Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade-offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation. (2009, background): “…idea that oxidative stress may cause cellular senescence has proved extremely influential, prompting intense research into the relationships between oxidative stress, senescence (both cellular and at the level of the organism) and lifespan (Beckman & Ames 1998; Monaghan et al. 2008; Ricklefs 2008).”
Fine root dynamics with stand development in the boreal forest (2012, background): “changes of plant development and senescence, a highly regulated process at the molecular, biochemical and physiological levels (Monaghan et al. 2008), explain the initial increase, the peak at an intermediate stand age and a decrease in older stands of production.”
