Effects of telomere length on reproductive success
In the high population, there was weak evidence for a negative
effect of TL on LRS while controlling for lifespan (model ranked 2,
∆AICc=0.1, βTL =-1.24, CI=[-2.52, 0.04],
Tables 5 and S2.5) suggesting that individuals with short telomeres in
early-life produced more recruits annually. In the lowpopulation, the best model was the simplest model including only the
effects of sex and lifespan (Tables 5 and S2.5).
