The tarnished silver spoon? Trade‐off between prenatal growth and telomere length in wild boar

Life‐history theory predicts a trade‐off between growth rates and lifespan, which is reflected by telomere length, a biomarker of somatic state. We investigated the correlation between telomere length and early‐life growth of wild boar piglets, Sus scrofa, kept under semi‐natural conditions with hig...
