(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-06-16)
    Is it possible to slow the rate of ageing, or do biological constraints limit its plasticity? We test the ‘invariant rate of ageing’ hypothesis, which posits that the rate of ageing is relatively fixed within species, with ...
  • Major histocompatibility complex class II DR and DQ evolution and variation in wild capuchin monkey species (Cebinae) 
    Buckner, Janet C.; Jack, Katharine M.; Melin, Amanda D.; Schoof, Valérie A. M.; Gutiérrez-Espeleta, Gustavo A.; Lima, Marcela G. M.; Lynch, Jessica W. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2021-08-12)
    The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an important gene complex contributing to adaptive immunity. Studies of platyrrhine MHC have focused on identifying experimental models of immune system function in the equivalent ...
