Sex differences in sand lizard telomere inheritance: paternal epigenetic effects increases telomere heritability and offspring survival.

<h4>Background</h4>To date, the only estimate of the heritability of telomere length in wild populations comes from humans. Thus, there is a need for analysis of natural populations with respect to how telomeres evolve.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Here, we show that...
