Good reasons to live shorter lives

Le 02 Juillet 2021
11h30 - This seminar will be streamed live online

Louis Thaler Seminar: Hanna Kokko

University of Zurich, Switzerland

Who would not like to live longer? All else being equal, a longer life increases fitness, but all else of course is not equal, and life history theory seeks to understand why organisms differ so much in their lifespan. I will discuss links between lifespan and sociality, how 'lifelong learning' (reversible plasticity) might interact with lifespan evolution, and the life of an insect where adult life is over once a tide covers a beach again.
