Abstract

Ageing affects almost all aspects of life and therefore is an important process across societies, human and non-human animal alike. This article introduces new research exploring the complex interplay between individual-level ageing and demography, and the consequences this interplay holds for the structure and functioning of societies across various natural populations. We discuss how this Special Issue provides a foundation for integrating perspectives from evolutionary biology, behavioural ecology and demography to provide new insights into how ageing shapes individuals' social behaviour and social associations, and how this in turn impacts social networks, social processes (such as disease or information transfer) and fitness. Through examining these topics across taxa, from invertebrates to birds and mammals, we outline how contemporary studies are using natural populations to advance our understanding of the relationship between age and society in innovative ways. We highlight key emerging research themes from this Special Issue, such as how sociality affects lifespan and health, the genetic and ecological underpinnings of social ageing and the adaptive strategies employed by different species. We conclude that this Special Issue underscores the importance of studying social ageing using diverse systems and interdisciplinary approaches for advancing evolutionary and ecological insights into both ageing and sociality more generally.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue 'Understanding age and society using natural populations '.

利用自然种群了解年龄和社会。
老龄化几乎影响到生活的方方面面,因此是人类和非人类动物社会的一个重要过程。这篇文章介绍了探索个体层面老龄化与人口学之间复杂相互作用的新研究,以及这种相互作用对各种自然种群的社会结构和功能所产生的影响。我们讨论了本特刊如何为整合进化生物学、行为生态学和人口学的观点奠定基础,从而为深入了解老龄化如何塑造个体的社会行为和社会关联,以及这反过来又如何影响社会网络、社会过程(如疾病或信息传递)和健康状况提供新的视角。通过研究从无脊椎动物到鸟类和哺乳动物等不同类群的这些主题,我们概述了当代研究如何以创新的方式利用自然种群来促进我们对年龄与社会之间关系的理解。我们强调了本特刊中新出现的关键研究主题,如社会性如何影响寿命和健康、社会老龄化的遗传和生态基础以及不同物种采用的适应策略。最后,我们认为本特刊强调了利用不同的系统和跨学科方法研究社会老龄化的重要性,从而推进对老龄化和社会性的进化和生态学认识。

期刊介绍: The journal publishes topics across the life sciences. As long as the core subject lies within the biological sciences, some issues may also include content crossing into other areas such as the physical sciences, social sciences, biophysics, policy, economics etc. Issues generally sit within four broad areas (although many issues sit across these areas): Organismal, environmental and evolutionary biology Neuroscience and cognition Cellular, molecular and developmental biology Health and disease.
