Gryllus bimaculatus

1. Parental age at reproduction is associated with actuarial senescence progression in G. bimaculatus.

   “This increased adult lifespan did not arise from reduced initial mortality, but from a delayed onset and slower progression of actuarial senescence.”

   Model organismsLater-conceived offspring; not established as a direct parental age effect

2. Parental age at reproduction is associated with adult lifespan in G. bimaculatus.

   “Unexpectedly, they also showed extended adult lifespans.”

3. Parental age at reproduction is associated with reproductive success in G. bimaculatus.

   “Later-conceived offspring exhibited accelerated development, a smaller adult mass, and improved reproductive success.”

   Model organismsLater-conceived versus earliest-conceived offspring, irrespective of parental thermal environment

1. Limb amputation increases GbZelda expression in G. bimaculatus.

   “This is followed, in regeneration-competent tissue, by selective reopening of a restricted population of regulatory elements and strong induction of the pioneer transcription factor Zelda (GbZelda).”

2. Limb amputation decreases enhancer-associated chromatin accessibility in G. bimaculatus.

   “Amputation triggers a striking genome-wide shutdown of enhancer-associated chromatin, marked by loss of accessible regulatory regions and depletion of H3K27ac and H3K4me1.”
