Similarly, there has + not been a comprehensive analysis of the drivers of such variation across + species (Li et al. 2023). In addition to the intrinsic importance of + quantifying the variation and sources of variance in lifespan at different + taxonomic levels, research around aging has been a central topic in medicine + and related disciplines (e.g. Ruby et al. 2018). For instance, the extent to + which aging can be modified in humans is still a matter of strong debate + (Yamamoto et al. 2022). Yet a broader perspective on the evolution of aging is + largely lacking. Is lifespan conserved across groups of organisms, or is it + more labile? Do environmental and ecological features explain a significant + fraction of the variance in lifespan across organisms? These and other + questions could provide insights into the potential malleability of lifespan + at smaller taxonomic scales. +document: /assets/documents/grants/research-innovation-and-impact.png +link: https://research.arizona.edu/development/find-funding/internal-funding/faculty-seed-grants +image: /assets/images/grants/research-innovation-and-impact.png +---
