10.7554/eLife.37513.001 Changes in DNA methylation are involved in development, disease,
and the response to environmental conditions. However, not all regulatory elements are …

Aging, for virtually all life, is inescapable. However, within populations, biological aging
rates vary. Understanding sources of variation in this process is central to understanding the …

Early life experiences can have profound and persistent effects on traits expressed throughout
the life course, with consequences for later life behavior, disease risk, and mortality rates. …

The “mismatch” between evolved human physiology and Western lifestyles is thought to
explain the current epidemic of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in industrialized societies. …

Identifying sources of variation in DNA methylation levels is important for understanding gene
regulation. Recently, bisulfite sequencing has become a popular tool for investigating DNA …

Here, we present estimates of heritability and selection on network traits in a single
population, allowing us to address the evolutionary potential of social behavior and the poorly …

Variation in resource availability commonly exerts strong effects on fitness‐related traits in
wild animals. However, we know little about the molecular mechanisms that mediate these …

Early-life experiences can dramatically affect adult traits. However, the evolutionary origins
of such early-life effects are debated. The predictive adaptive response hypothesis argues …

Many species respond to heterospecific alarm calls, and the majority are social taxa and
possess complex alarm calls themselves. Thus, the ability to respond to heterospecific alarm …

Many mammalian societies are structured by dominance hierarchies, and an individual's
position within this hierarchy can influence reproduction, behaviour, physiology and health. In …
