Figure 2
Effect of age on the change of relative telomere length (RTL) in edible dormice (n = 49, N = 109).
The effect of age was best described by a quadratic polynomial (age coefficient −0.18, SE 0.08; P = 0.020; age2 coefficient 0.022; SE 0.007; P = 0.003). Component and residuals plot from a linear mixed effects model. The r2 of the full model was 0.62; the r2 of random effect was 0.43.
