Evidence for actuarial senescence (i.e. the decrease in survival with increasing age) is now widespread across the tree of life. However, demographic senescence patterns are highly variable both between and within species. To understand these variations, there is an urgent need to go beyond aggregated mortality rates and to investigate how age‐specific causes of mortality in animals interact with...
Current thinking in life‐history theory and the biology of ageing suggests that ageing rates, and consequently life spans, evolve largely as a function of trade‐offs with reproduction. While various evolutionary constraints are generally acknowledged to exist, their potential role in determining ageing rates is rarely considered.
This review integrates three types of information to assess the...
