Presents information on the biology of aging and longevity based on a study that was carried out, which focuses on a single-model system, whereby the experiments were designed by the same group of core scientists, data was collected in the same laboratory and the results analysed, written up and published. This book acts as an introduction to experimental demography and biodemography for a large number of biologists who are not specialising in age science. Presents various new syntheses such as analytical models that make explicit the relationship between life history traits like reproduction and longevity or mortality, and longevity theory that shows a general model in social organisms revealing how longevity extention coevolves with sociality.
