Figure 1. — Telomere length (from whole blood measured by TRF analysis) as a function of age in 19 bird species included in the comparative analysis. The lines are linear regressions, and the slope of the regression line for telomere length versus age was used as the telomere rate of change (TROC). The slope of the regression, its standard error and the r² are printed within the panel of each species.
