Beneficial cumulative effects of old parental age on offspring fitness

L. M. Travers, H. Carlsson, M. I. Lind, A. A. Maklakov

This study shows that old parental age in C. elegans leads to fitter offspring with faster life-histories, and these effects accumulate over generations but reverse with a single generation of young parent breeding.

Evolutionary causes of lifespan extension by dietary restriction: linking theory and mechanisms

L. M. Travers, H. Carlsson, E. M. L. Duxbury, A. A. Maklakov

This study tests two hypotheses about how dietary restriction extends lifespan by manipulating autophagy in C. elegans and shows that autophagy is crucial for survival during famine but reduces reproduction.
