• Consequences of measurement error in qPCR telomere data: A simulation study 

      Nettle, Daniel; Seeker, Luise; Nussey, Daniel; Froy, Hannah; Bateson, Melissa (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The qPCR method provides an inexpensive, rapid method for estimating relative telomere length across a set of biological samples. Like all laboratory methods, it involves some degree of measurement error. The estimation ...
    • Slicing: A sustainable approach to structuring samples for analysis in long‐term studies 

      van Lieshout, Sil H. J.; Froy, Hannah; Schroeder, Julia; Burke, Terry; Simons, Mirre J. P.; Dugdale, Hannah F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The longitudinal study of populations is a core tool for understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. Long-term studies typically collect samples repeatedly over individual lifetimes and across generations. These ...
    • Telomere attrition rates are associated with weather conditions and predict productive lifespan in dairy cattle 

      Seeker, Luise A.; Underwood, Sarah L.; Wilbourn, Rachael V.; Dorrens, Jennifer; Froy, Hannah; Holland, Rebecca; Ilska, Joanna J.; Psifidi, Androniki; Bagnall, Ainsley; Whitelaw, Bruce; Coffey, Mike; Banos, Georgios; Nussey, Daniel H. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Telomere length is predictive of adult health and survival across vertebrate species. However, we currently do not know whether such associations result from among-individual differences in telomere length determined ...
    • Variation in generation time reveals density regulation as an important driver of pace of life in a bird metapopulation 

      Araya-Ajoy, Yimen; Niskanen, Alina Katariina; Froy, Hannah; Ranke, Peter Sjolte; Kvalnes, Thomas; Rønning, Bernt; Pepke, Michael Le; Jensen, Henrik; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Wright, Jonathan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Generation time determines the pace of key demographic and evolutionary processes. Quantified as the weighted mean age at reproduction, it can be studied as a life-history trait that varies within and among populations and ...
