Eusociality and Senescence: Neuroprotection and Physiological Resilience to Aging in Insect and Mammalian Systems
Are eusociality and extraordinary aging polyphenisms evolutionarily coupled? The remarkable disparity in longevity between social insect queens and sterile workers—decades vs. months, respectively—has long been recognized. In mammals, the lifespan of eusocial naked mole rats is extremely long—roughl...
