Mammalian species differ up to 100‐fold in their aging rates and maximum lifespans. Long‐lived mammals appear to possess traits that extend lifespan and healthspan. Genomic analyses have not revealed a single pro‐longevity function that would account for all longevity effects. In contrast, it appears that pro‐longevity mechanisms may be complex traits afforded by connections between metabolism and protein functions that are impossible to predict by genomic approaches alone. Thus, metabolomics and proteomics studies will be required to understand the mechanisms of longevity. Several examples are reviewed that demonstrate the naked mole rat (NMR) shows unique proteomic signatures that contribute to longevity by overcoming several hallmarks of aging. SIRT6 is also discussed as an example of a protein that evolves enhanced enzymatic function in long‐lived species. Finally, it is shown that several longevity‐related proteins such as Cip1/p21, FOXO3, TOP2A, AKT1, RICTOR, INSR, and SIRT6 harbor posttranslational modification (PTM) sites that preferentially appear in either short‐ or long‐lived species and provide examples of crosstalk between PTM sites. Prospects of enhancing lifespan and healthspan of humans by altering metabolism and proteoforms with drugs that mimic changes observed in long‐lived species are discussed. 相似文献

Diet restriction increases longevity while reducing fecundity in a broad range of organisms. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and the causes of these exceptions remain unclear. One hypothesis is that short‐lived, semelparous organisms gain no benefit from increased longevity regardless of nutritional resources. Another hypothesis is that organisms may alter their behaviour to compensate for nutrient deficiencies. We examined these hypotheses in the colonial orb‐weaving spider Cyrtophora citricola. Sexual cannibalism is frequent in this species so that females are long lived and interoparous while males are semelparous. Because of these differing sexual strategies, we predicted that the common pattern of increased longevity under diet restriction would hold for females but not for males. We also investigated in a semi‐natural setting whether spiders could compensate for diet restriction by altering their feeding behaviour. Diet‐restricted females produced fewer offspring but lived longer than well‐fed females, while diet had no effect on male longevity. Despite being semelparous, virgin males were quite long‐lived, suggesting that potential lifespan is relatively unimportant in determining the effects of diet restriction. Contrary to our predictions, females were unable to compensate for their restricted diet by altering their foraging behaviour. Instead, semi‐natural conditions increased the differences between spiders on high and low diets, suggesting that the effects of diet restriction can be pervasive under natural conditions. 相似文献

Tags have been used to examine migration routes and habitat use of large whales for >40 yr, however, evaluation of tag wound healing has largely been short‐term, anecdotal or generalized. This study developed methods for systematic photographic assessment of long‐term external consequences of tag placement, to determine potential differences in wound healing between species and tag types and thus advise future tagging efforts to possibly minimize undesirable side effects. Tag site appearance and healing characteristics were evaluated by two reviewers and a time series evaluated by five veterinarians from photographs during 995 postdeployment encounters with 34 gray and 63 blue whales tagged in the North Pacific. Blue whale resightings were less frequent, but spanned a longer time period due to earlier tag deployments than the more frequent gray whale follow‐up observations. Swelling occurred in 74% of reencountered gray whales, with the highest frequency 6 mo postdeployment. Swellings were common in blue whales with early tag designs but rare with current models. Depressions occurred in 82% of gray and 71% of blue whales. This study demonstrates the value of follow‐up studies of tagged animals and systematic scoring of photographs to quantitatively compare tag response. 相似文献

- 1 In response to conservation and management concerns about gray whale Eschrichtius robustus population and stock structure, we provide an overview of the life history and ecology of gray whales as a context for discussion of population and stock structure within the species. Historically eastern and western North Pacific gray whales were managed separately because: (i) their ranges do not overlap; (ii) genetic analyses indicate that the two populations are significantly different; and (iii) eastern gray whales have increased in abundance over the past century while western gray whales have not.
- 2 Here, we review gray whale migration timing and segregation, feeding and prey species, and reproduction and reproductive behaviour. For the eastern and western gray whale, we review their distribution, history of exploitation, abundance and current status, although most of what is known is founded on the better studied eastern gray whale and only implied for the lesser known western gray whale. Methods to investigate population and stock identity are reviewed including genetics, morphology, chemical signatures, carbon isotopes, parasites, photographic identification and trends in abundance.
- 3 While the evidence indicates that there is at least some degree of mixing within each of the gray whale populations, no stocks or sub‐stocks can be defined. Population structure is not evident in nuclear data, and because selection occurs primarily on the nuclear genome, it is unlikely that there is structuring within each population that could result in evolutionary differences. For western gray whales, there are insufficient data to assess the plausibility of stock structure within the population, owing to its extremely depleted state. Research on eastern gray whales has focused mostly on documenting changes in abundance, feeding biology and behaviour, and suggests separate breeding groups to be unlikely. Both males and females are promiscuous breeders lending little opportunity for the nuclear genome to be anything other than well mixed as is suggested by the high haplotypic diversity of the eastern population.
- 4 The available data strongly indicate that western gray whales represent a population geographically isolated from eastern gray whales and therefore that the western and eastern populations should be treated as separate management units.

In Clayquot Sound, British Columbia, gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) forage primarily on mysids (Family Mysideae) and also on crab larvae (Family Porcellanidae) that are constrained to specific habitat, which relate to bathymetric depths. In this paper we characterize the interactions of gray whales and their prey by analyzing fine scale spatial‐temporal patterns in foraging gray whale distribution within a season. Kernel density estimators are applied to two seasons (1998 and 2002) of high‐resolution data on foraging by gray whales. By partitioning data from each foraging season into several time periods (12 in 1998 and 11 in 2002), using a temporal autocorrelation function, and generating kernel density estimated surfaces for each time period, it is possible to identify discrete areas of increasing and declining foraging effort. Our results indicate that gray whales forage on mysids throughout a season and opportunistically forage on crab larvae. The episodic crab larvae feeding may reduce, but not eliminate, pressure to mysid populations enabling mysids to reassemble swarms and continue to support gray whale foraging in the latter part of the season. Results suggest that when managing marine environments, gray whale populations require multiple and connected habitats for summer foraging. 相似文献

Response of endophytic fruit fly species (Tephritidae) to larval crowding is a form of scramble competition that may affect important life history traits of adults, such as survival and reproduction. Recent empirical evidence demonstrates large differences in adult life history traits, especially longevity, among Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; "medfly") biotypes obtained from different regions of the world. However, whether the evolution of long lifespan is associated with response to stress induced by larval crowding has not been fully elucidated. We investigated, under constant laboratory conditions, the response of a short‐ and a long‐lived medfly biotypes to stress induced by larval crowding. Survival and development of larvae and pupae and the size of resulting pupae were recorded. The lifespan and age‐specific egg production patterns of the obtained adults were recorded. Our findings reveal that increased larval density reduced immature survival (larvae and pupae) in the short‐lived biotype but had rather neutral effects on the longed‐lived one. Only larvae of the long‐lived biotype were capable of prolonging their developmental duration under the highest crowding regime to successfully pupate and emerge as adults. Response of emerging adults to larvae crowding conditions was similar in the two medfly biotypes. Those individuals emerging from high larval density regimes had reduced longevity and fecundity. Long‐lived biotype individuals, however, appeared to suffer a higher cost in longevity compared with the short‐lived one. The importance of our findings to understand the evolution of long lifespan is discussed. 相似文献

The ability to accurately evaluate the energetic health of wildlife is of critical importance, particularly under conditions of environmental change. Despite the relevance of this issue, currently there are no reliable, standardized, nonlethal measures to assess the energetic reserves of large, free‐roaming marine mammals such as baleen whales. This study investigated the potential of adipocyte area analysis and further, a standardized adipocyte index (AI ), to yield reliable information regarding humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae ) adiposity. Adipocyte area and AI , as ascertained by image analysis, showed a direct correlation with each other but only a weak correlation with the commonly used, but error prone, blubber lipid‐percent measure. The relative power of the three respective measures was further evaluated by comparing humpback whale cohorts at different stages of migration and fasting. Adipocyte area, AI , and blubber lipid‐percent were assessed by binary logistic regression revealing that adipocyte area had the greatest probability to predict the migration cohort with a high level of redundancy attributed to the AI given their strong linear relationship (r = −.784). When only AI and lipid‐percent were assessed, the performance of both predictor variables was significant but the power of AI far exceeded lipid‐percent. The sensitivity of adipocyte metrics and the rapid, nonlethal, and inexpensive nature of the methodology and AI calculation validate the inclusion of the AI in long‐term monitoring of humpback whale population health, and further raises its potential for broader wildlife applications. 相似文献

Growth hormone significantly impacts lifespan in mammals. Mouse longevity is extended when growth hormone (GH) signaling is interrupted but markedly shortened with high‐plasma hormone levels. Methionine metabolism is enhanced in growth hormone deficiency, for example, in the Ames dwarf, but suppressed in GH transgenic mice. Methionine intake affects also lifespan, and thus, GH mutant mice and respective wild‐type littermates were fed 0.16%, 0.43%, or 1.3% methionine to evaluate the interaction between hormone status and methionine. All wild‐type and GH transgenic mice lived longer when fed 0.16% methionine but not when fed higher levels. In contrast, animals without growth hormone signaling due to hormone deficiency or resistance did not respond to altered levels of methionine in terms of lifespan, body weight, or food consumption. Taken together, our results suggest that the presence of growth hormone is necessary to sense dietary methionine changes, thus strongly linking growth and lifespan to amino acid availability. 相似文献

Cetacean mitochondrial DNA control region: sequences of all extant baleen whales and two sperm whale species 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The sequence of the mitochondrial control region was determined in all 10
extant species commonly assigned to the suborder Mysticeti (baleen or
whalebone whales) and to two odontocete (toothed whale) species (the sperm
and the pygmy sperm whale). In the mysticetes, both the length and the
sequence of the control region were very similar, with differences
occurring primarily in the first approximately 160 bp of the 5' end of the
L-strand of the region. There were marked differences between the mysticete
and sperm whale sequences and also between the two sperm whales. The
control region, less its variable portion, was used in a comparison
including the 10 mysticete sequences plus the same region of an Antarctic
minke whale specimen and the two sperm whales. The difference between the
minke whales from the North Atlantic and the Antarctic was greater than
that between any acknowledged species belonging to the same genus
(Balaenoptera). The difference was similar to that between the families
Balaenopteridae (rorquals) and Eschrichtiidae (gray whales). The findings
suggest that the Antarctic minke whale should have a full species status,
B. bonaerensis. Parsimony analysis separated the bowhead and the right
whale (family Balaenidae) from all remaining mysticetes, including the
pygmy right whale. The pygmy right whale is usually included in family
Balaenidae. The analysis revealed a close relationship between the gray
whale (family Eschrichtiidae) sequence and those of the rorquals (family
Balaenopteridae). The gray whale was included in a clade together with the
sei, Bryde's, fin, blue, and humpback whales. This clade was separated from
the two minke whale types, which branched together.

One of the greatest unresolved questions in aging biology is determining the genetic basis of interspecies longevity variation. Gene duplication is often the key to understanding the origin and evolution of important Eutherian phenotypes. We systematically identified longevity‐associated genes in model organisms that duplicated throughout Eutherian evolution. Longevity‐associated gene families have a marginally significantly higher rate of duplication compared to non‐longevity‐associated gene families. Anti‐longevity‐associated gene families have significantly increased rate of duplication compared to pro‐longevity gene families and are enriched in neurodegenerative disease categories. Conversely, duplicated pro‐longevity‐associated gene families are enriched in cell cycle genes. There is a cluster of longevity‐associated gene families that expanded solely in long‐lived species that is significantly enriched in pathways relating to 3‐UTR‐mediated translational regulation, metabolism of proteins and gene expression, pathways that have the potential to affect longevity. The identification of a gene cluster that duplicated solely in long‐lived species involved in such fundamental processes provides a promising avenue for further exploration of Eutherian longevity evolution. 相似文献

心率即心脏跳动的速度,不仅反映了心脏的功能,还与寿命的长短及能量代谢有关。与大多数陆生哺乳动物相比,鲸类心率显著降低。降低的心率有助于鲸类寿命的延长及能量的高效利用,便于其适应极端的海洋环境,而这一适应的分子机制尚不清楚。鉴于此,本研究采用基于最大似然法的枝模型、枝位点模型结合蛋白质功能差异分析等方法,对控制心率的环状腺苷酸结合蛋白(Epac1 和Epac2)基因进行适应性探究。分析结果表明,Epac1在长寿鲸类即须鲸类和抹香鲸(Physeter macrocephalus)组合进化支中检测到加速进化过程,且枝位点模型在须鲸类祖先支中检测到的强烈的正选择位点均位于功能重要的催化区;另外,该蛋白质在鲸类中还发生了显著的功能修饰(θ=0.5296 ± 0.1300;P<0.001)。对Epac2进行相同的分析发现,该基因在寿命长达200年之久的弓头鲸(Balaena mysticetus)中检测到的正选择位点同样位于功能重要的催化区。上述结果提示Epac1和Epac2在鲸类中均产生了适应性进化,这一方面可能有助于鲸类心率降低,另一方面也可能与其较长的寿命及高效的能量利用有关。 相似文献

Mammals differ more than 100‐fold in maximum lifespan, which can be altered in either direction during evolution, but the molecular basis for natural changes in longevity is not understood. Divergent evolution of mammals also led to extensive changes in gene expression within and between lineages. To understand the relationship between lifespan and variation in gene expression, we carried out RNA‐seq‐based gene expression analyses of liver, kidney, and brain of 33 diverse species of mammals. Our analysis uncovered parallel evolution of gene expression and lifespan, as well as the associated life‐history traits, and identified the processes and pathways involved. These findings provide direct insights into how nature reversibly adjusts lifespan and other traits during adaptive radiation of lineages. 相似文献

The gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) is a coastal species whose nearshore summer foraging grounds off the coast of British Columbia offer an opportunity to study the fine scale foraging response of baleen whales. We explore the relationship between prey density and gray whale foraging starting with regional scale (10 km) assessments of whale density (per square kilometer) and foraging effort as a response to regional mysid density (per cubic meter), between 2006 and 2007. In addition we measure prey density at a local scale (100 m), while following foraging whales during focal surveys. We found regional mysid density had a significant positive relationship with both gray whale density and foraging effort. We identify a threshold response to regional mysid density for both whale density and foraging effort. In 2008 the lowest average local prey density measured beside a foraging whale was 2,300 mysids/m3. This level was maintained even when regional prey density was found to be substantially lower. Similar to other baleen whales, the foraging behavior of gray whales suggests a threshold response to prey density and a complex appreciation of prey availability across fine scales. 相似文献
