This project investigates the evolutionary aspects of aging, focusing on how sexual conflict influences aging rates in organisms. Using the model insect Tribolium castaneum, it aims to explore the relationship between sexual conflict and aging, identifying key genetic factors involved.
The fundamental question 'why do organisms age?' remains among the most enduring challenges in evolutionary biology.
One of the most complex aspects of ageing is sex-specific selection on ageing rates and, more generally, the dynamic link between ageing and sexual conflict.
Although sexual conflict was recognized over 30 years ago, its role in adaptive evolution has only recently received theoretical and empirical attention.
Sexual conflict is currently recognized as a key evolutionary process,…
