Course Description

Overview

Explore the intricate relationship between stress exposure and longevity in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into organismal and cellular level effects at different life history stages, examining recent research focus and the concept of optimal stress exposure. Investigate early life adversity and conditions through zebrafinch studies, analyzing telomeres and their impact on breeding performance and longevity. Examine the European shag as a case study, considering parental age and its effects on offspring. Discover insights from long-term and cross-sectional studies, exploring DNA damage and mitochondrial function. Learn about ongoing projects and conclude with discussions on adaptive potential, constraints, sex differences, rate of loss, and growth dynamics. Engage in a Q&A session on Slack to further discuss the presented findings and their implications for understanding stress and longevity across species.
