AEGIS models life history trait evolution using individual-based simulations to test ecological and demographic factors' impacts on traits like reproduction and lifespan.

This study shows that intermittent fasting improves muscle health and extends lifespan in both sexes of African turquoise killifish, with sex-specific molecular and cellular changes.

The paper shows that lifespan variation in turquoise killifish is due to intrinsic quality rather than reproductive trade-offs.

This study shows that amyloid-beta precursor protein contributes to non-pathological brain aging and learning decline in killifish and humans.

This paper provides a transcriptional dataset of aging tissues from African turquoise killifish, showing age has a greater impact than sex on gene expression and TE transcription.

The paper characterizes sex pheromone communication systems in Drosophila by analyzing phylogenetic and chemical traits across 99 species, identifying 51 sex-specific compounds and their roles in reproductive isolation.

The paper uses FUCCI technology to study cell cycle dynamics during diapause entry and exit in annual killifish embryos, revealing coordinated cellular changes during quiescent states.

This study identifies and characterizes circRNAs in the ageing African turquoise killifish across multiple tissues and time points, providing a resource for circRNA and ageing research.

This study shows that transferring gut bacteria from young African turquoise killifish to middle-aged ones extends their lifespan and delays aging-related behavioral decline.
