The evolutionary mechanisms maintaining genetic variation in life span, particularly post-reproductive life span, are poorly understood. We characterized the effects of spontaneous mutations on life span in the rhabditid nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and C. briggsae and standing genetic variance for life span and correlation of life span with fitness in C. briggsae. Mutations decreased mean ...

This paper discusses the connection between social capital and trends in economic well-being. Although arguments for the growth-enhancing aspects of social capital are concerned with the impacts of social capital on well-being, in practice research has focussed on the relationship between social capital and trends in GDP per capita. However, there are severe disadvantages to using GDP per capit...
