Ageing: levelling of the grim reaper.

B Charlesworth1, L Partridge.   

Abstract

Recent observations of a levelling of the death rate in extreme old age, in both experimental species and humans, are posing difficult problems for evolutionary biologists, in particular about the evolution of the post-reproductive period.
