Evolution of ageing, costs of reproduction and the fecundity–longevity trade-off in eusocial insects

Pierre BLACHER Former Fyssen 2014 & Timothy J. Huggins, Andrew F. G. Bourke Proceedings B 2017; Eusocial insects provide special opportunities to elucidate the evolution of ageing as queens have apparently evaded costs of reproduction and reversed the fecundity–longevity trade-off generally observed in non-social organisms. But how reproduction affects longevity in eusocial insects has rarely […]
