}Larvae of the beetle Trogoderma glabrum undergo partially reversed development when deprived of food and water. Retrogressive larval ecdyses occur, and the larvae become diminished in size and weight. Given food, the larvae regrow, ecdyze, and regain their previous degree of maturity. Repeated cycles of retrogression and regrowth are possible. Although larval in form and organ differentiation, repeatedly retrogressed insects display a physiological deterioration suggestive of aging. A…

A molt timer is involved in the metamorphic molt in Manduca sexta larvae

By feeding starved CAX larvae for various durations, it was found that feeding for only 12–24 h was sufficient to result in metamorphosis on day 4, regardless of further feeding or body size, suggesting that larvae possess a molt timer that establishes a minimal time to meetamorphosis.

The death point of the lines proved remarkably immune to the influence of environmental factors such as temperature stress, ultraviolet irradiation, starvation or physical damage, and the important factor in determining the lifetime of a plasmodial line is the genotype of the strain.
Drosophila larval epidermal cells only exhibit epidermal aging when they persist to the adult stage
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2020
It is shown that Drosophila larval epidermal cells do not age at the larval stage, but they do, however, exhibit signs of aging if they persist into the adult, and the capacity of LECs to respond to aging signals does exist.
The effect of resource limitation on competing populations of flour beetles, tribolium spp. (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae)

Populations of the two species may persist longer if they compete than if they are husbanded as single species when resource is limited.

A body of observations implies that the future of human aging can be substantially different than its past and supports recent excitement over the possibilities of human intervention.
Effects of Cold on Morphogenesis
- Physics
- 1991
Any temperature below that to which a species is best adapted may be regarded as cold, and keeping insects at low temperature for longer periods of time always affects their mortality and development, and often other parameters as well.
How does the body know how old it is? Introducing the epigenetic clock hypothesis
- BiologyBiochemistry (Moscow)

This work proposes a new candidate for an aging clock, based on epigenetics and the state of chromosome methylation, particularly in stem cells, and if validated, this mechanism would present a challenging target for medical intervention.

It was found that decreased sanitation negatively affected the efficacy of most tactics examined, with a mean 1.3–17-fold decrease in efficacy under poorer sanitation compared to better sanitation.
