Correlations within individuals between telomere lengths measured at different ages. (a) Telomere length at day 30 against telomere length at day 5, and (b) telomere length in adulthood against telomere length at fledging (day 30). The dashed line describes equal values of x and y, thus the vertical distance to this line indicates the amount of telomere shortening. Note that we succeeded in sampling only 23 out of 30 recruits for telomere length.
