Abstract:
:The experimental suitability of the flour beetles of the genus Tribolium has attracted ecologists, nutritionists, radiation biologists and geneticists for decades. I have, recently, evaluated their importance to gerontologists. This paper deals with age-related changes and parental age effects which were not included in a previous review. I have, first, discussed the known aspects of age-related changes in morphological, physiological, biochemical, behavioural and pathological parameters as well as on radiation-sensitivity and susceptibility to insecticides. Pre-adult biochemical and physiological changes have also been included, because of the important inter-relationship between growth and ageing. This is followed by an evaluation of parental age effects on physiological and genetic characteristics and of proposed areas for possible research.
