I have a new paper out from my dissertation work. It's a pretty cool deep dive into the garter snakes I worked with and how they handle risk management and reproductive opportunity.

See link below for new work by @Biology_Dave: In flies where selection for early reproduction has led to accelerated aging, we find repeatable metabolome evolution involving apparent shifts in energy metabolism. “Clock” models also appear to capture signals of biological age.
Work led by @Biology_Dave characterizing the metabolome in flies where selection for early reproduction has led to accelerated aging. Findings point to shifts in energy metabolism and results from "clock" models that the metabolome captures signals of "biological age".
