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).
