COLONY: a program for parentage and sibship inference from multilocus genotype data
Owen R. Jones,Jinliang Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe colony, a computer program implementing full-pedigree likelihood methods to simultaneously infer sibship and parentage among individuals using multilocus genotype data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of ageing across the tree of life
Owen R. Jones,Alexander Scheuerlein,Roberto Salguero-Gómez,Carlo Giovanni Camarda,Ralf Schaible,Brenda B. Casper,Johan P. Dahlgren,Johan Ehrlén,María B. García,Eric S. Menges,Pedro F. Quintana-Ascencio,Hal Caswell,Annette Baudisch,James W. Vaupel +13 more
TL;DR: Great variation among these species, including increasing, constant, decreasing, humped and bowed trajectories for both long- and short-lived species, challenges theoreticians to develop broader perspectives on the evolution of ageing and empiricists to study the demography of more species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Senescence rates are determined by ranking on the fast–slow life‐history continuum

Jean Wickings,Tim Coulson +34 more
TL;DR: Without using life tables, senescence rates in annual individual fitness is examined using 20 individual-based data sets of terrestrial vertebrates with contrasting life histories and body size to assess the robustness of the prevalent life-table approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Emerging Role of Zoos to Conserve Biodiversity
TL;DR: In situ conservation actions will need to be combined with ex situ approaches, such as captive breeding in zoos, aquariums, and so on, to reduce pressures on the planet's biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast-slow continuum and reproductive strategies structure plant life-history variation worldwide.
Roberto Salguero-Gómez,Roberto Salguero-Gómez,Owen R. Jones,Eelke Jongejans,Simon P. Blomberg,David J. Hodgson,Cyril Mbeau-Ache,Pieter A. Zuidema,Hans de Kroon,Yvonne M. Buckley,Yvonne M. Buckley +10 more
TL;DR: The found that life-history strategies of 418 plant species worldwide are explained by an axis representing the pace of life and another representing the wide range of reproductive strategies, suggesting that the relative independence of the fast–slow and reproduction strategy axes is general in the plant kingdom.
