图书简介
Do all organisms senesce? Challenging traditional theories on the evolution of senescence, this book introduces an interdisciplinary perspective, giving a broad overview of new insights and cutting-edge research from many scientific fields. It will be of interest to students and biologists interested in ageing research, life history traits and populations.
