Age is a major factor explaining variation in life-history
traits among individuals with typical patterns of increasing trait values
early in life, maximum trait expression, and senescence. However,
age-dependent variation in the expressions of sexually selected traits
has received less attention, although such variation underpins differences
in male competitive abilities and female preference, which
are central to sexual selection. In contrast to previous studies focusing
on single traits, we used repeated measures of seven sexually selected
morphological and behavioral traits in male black grouse (Tetrao
tetrix) to quantify the effects of age and life span on their expressions
and quantified this variation in relation to male reproductive effort.
Trait expression increased with age, but long-lived males had a slower
increase and delayed maxima in trait values compared with shortlived
males. There was evidence of terminal investment (increasing
trait values during the last breeding season) in some traits and senescence
in all traits. These trait dynamics were largely explained by
the timing of male peak lekking effort. This study shows that fully
understanding the variation in sexually selected traits and fitness
benefits associated with sexual selection requires accounting for the
complex interaction among individual age, life span, and the timing
of individuals’ investment in reproduction.

Simultaneous age-dependent and age-independent sexual selection in the lekking black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix)
Kervinen, Matti; Lebigre, Christophe; Soulsbury, Carl D. (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd.; British Ecological Society, 2016)Individuals' reproductive success is often strongly associated with their age, with typical patterns of early‐life reproductive improvement and late‐life senescence. These age‐related patterns are due to the inherent ... -
Age is not just a number : Mathematical model suggests senescence affects how fish populations respond to different fishing regimes
Ahti, Pauliina A.; Uusi‐Heikkilä, Silva; Marjomäki, Timo J.; Kuparinen, Anna (John Wiley & Sons, 2021)Senescence is often described as an age-dependent increase in natural mortality (known as actuarial senescence) and an age-dependent decrease in fecundity (known as reproductive senescence), and its role in nature is still ... -
Frequency and Density-Dependent Selection on Life-History Strategies - A Field Experiment
Mappes, Tapio; Koivula, Minna; Koskela, Esa; Oksanen, Tuula A.; Savolainen, Tiina; Sinervo, Barry (Public Library of Science, 2008)Negative frequency-dependence, which favors rare genotypes, promotes the maintenance of genetic variability and is of interest as a potential explanation for genetic differentiation. Density-dependent selection may also ... -

Henneguya zschokkei (Myxozoa) infection in cultured whitefish : Age-dependence, seasonality and distribution within host
Ahonen, Hanna; Koskinen, H.; Valtonen, Tellervo; Taskinen, Jouni (Elsevier BV, 2017)Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) is an important species for European fisheries and aquaculture. Recently, the myxosporean Henneguya zschokkei has been observed to infect the muscles of whitefish in fish farms. Plasmodia ...
