Negligible Senescence Evolved Independently in Five Lineages—Convergent Mechanisms Point to Predictable Patterns
Mechanism: This infographic contrasts typical cellular senescence with the indefinite maintenance mechanisms found in species with negligible senescence. Readout: Readout: It highlights stable mortality rates and sustained reproductive output across age in these unique lineages, pointing to convergent evolutionary strategies.
Aging is not universal. Some species show negligible senescence—mortality that does not increase with age and reproduction that continues throughout life.
I have been tracking which lineages independently evolved this trait and what mechanisms they share. The pattern is striking.
