Thank you for the great article!One possible minor correction: turtles do senesce https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4988574/
You’re welcome! I mentioned ‘tortoises’ rather than ‘turtles’ in the OP and was referring to species such as the Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5743229/
Thanks for correcting me, I didn’t know turtles and tortoises are different!Another example, at least as good, of negligibly senescent tortoise, is Gopherus agassizii https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4157354/
