Reproductive senescence in female Soay sheep: variation across traits and contributions of individual ageing and selective disappearance (2013, background): “Recent work has suggested that senescence is widespread in natu- ral populations (Nussey et al. 2008), so a lack of senes- cence in this key reproductive trait is intriguing, although not unprecedented.”
The evolution of senescence from a comparative perspective (2008, background): “Nussey et al. (2008) emphasize the importance of longitudinal studies on individuals for interpreting within-population trade-offs, and Wilson et al. (2008) discuss quantitative genetics approaches to understanding variation within populations.”
An integrative study of ageing in a wild population of common lizards (2011, methodology): “This point is still in debate (Nussey et al. 2008) partly because of the low statistical power of tests comparing different forms based on a single distribution ⁄ variable.”
Life history correlates of oxidative damage in a free‐living mammal population (2009, background): “Previous work reveals that where longitudinal data is available, mixed-effects models can be used to good effect to detect trade-offs and model senescence at the within-individual level (Nussey et al. 2006; Nussey et al. 2008).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “Understanding age-specific patterns in lifehistory traits remains a central issue in the ecology of iteroparous organisms (Stearns 1992, Nussey et al. 2008).”
The evolutionary ecology of senescence (2008, background): “Recognising and measuring deterioration in performance in animals pose formidable difficulties, especially in the wild ( Nussey et al . 2008 ).”
Reality as the leading cause of stress: rethinking the impact of chronic stress in nature (2013, background): “Functional Ecology © 2012 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 27, 11–23 starts in the first several years after birth (e.g. Nussey et al. 2008).”
