Evolution of ageing, costs of reproduction and the fecundity–longevity trade-off in eusocial insects

Eusocial insects provide special opportunities to elucidate the evolution of ageing as queens have apparently evaded costs of reproduction and reversed the fecundity–longevity trade-off generally observed in non-social organisms.
