Parental age at reproduction accelerates offspring pace of life in Gryllus bimaculatus

Mark D. Pitt, Brendan O’Connor, Timothy D. Sheen…·Jelle J. Boonekamp

This study shows that parental age at reproduction in Gryllus bimaculatus affects offspring pace-of-life, not longevity, with later-conceived offspring showing accelerated development and extended lifespan due to delayed senescence.
