Moontanman Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Great Tits Also Have Age-Related Defects Great Tit Parus major. (Credit: iStockphoto/Andrew Howe) ScienceDaily (Mar. 9, 2011) — The offspring of older great tit females are much less successful than those of younger mothers. Things mainly go wrong in the later stages of the upbringing, concludes evolutionary biologist Sandra Bouwhuis. For great tit females, it turns out to be a good idea to invest in generating offspring in the first years of life. Bouwhuis will be awarded a PhD by the University of Groningen on 18 March 2011 for her research into the aging of great tits. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110307130215.htm Quote
