The process of accumulation of deleterious mutations is the fundamental reason of ageing, according to the evolutionary theory. In this theory, the individuals better fitted to reproduce will suffer this accumulation in adulthood or old age. We present results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations o

## Abstract A male rhesus monkey leaves his birth group to reproduce. On Cayo Santiago, the βMonkey Islandβ off Puerto Rico, researchers are searching for the gene that controls the primates migratory behaviour
Most asexual plants retain male sexual function, albeit at levels much lower than their sexual counterparts. This phenomenon has not typically received full representation in mathematical models of the cost of sex. We formulate and analyze a genetic model of reproductive mode in order to study the e
The evolution of the frequency of reproduction in perennial plants is analyzed using the Lefkovitch matrix model. The model describes a population dynamics with a stage-specific pattern of reproduction and mortality of plants. Both the density-independent and density-dependent models are analyzed, a
## Abstract Fetal membranes (such as the chorioallantois and yolk sac) are essential to embryonic development, and have contributed importantly to the evolutionary and ecological diversity of vertebrates. Since the mid β 19th century, many scientific careers have been devoted to investigations of t
