The paper develops BEAC, an epigenetic clock for birds, validated across multiple species and showing strong predictive performance for chronological age.

This study compiles the largest allonursing dataset from wild populations and analyzes its distribution, mechanisms, and functions across mammals and human cultures.

The paper examines guppy male phenotypes associated with coercive mating success, finding traits that partially overlap with those advantageous in cooperative mating.

The paper finds that in guppies, telomere length is negatively correlated with sperm production, suggesting a trade-off between reproduction and maintenance rather than aging.
