Survival Across the Fitness-Stress Continuum Under the Ecological Stress Theory of Aging: Caloric Restriction and Ionizing Radiation

Free living organisms typically occur in harsh environments challenged by abiotic stresses of varying intensities. Taking ionizing radiation and caloric restriction as examples, environmental variation from benign to extreme gives a fitness-stress continuum where energetic efficiency, a measure of f...
