Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce AnAge, the animal ageing database. We have
recently released build 10 with over 4,000 species.
Though primarily a database of ageing and longevity in animals, AnAge
features one of the most comprehensive collections of life history data in
animals, making it a useful tool for evolutionary and ecology studies. In
addition to longevity records, which continue to be our main focus and we
make a great effort to verify their authenticity, AnAge contains thousands
of estimates for life history traits such as age at sexual maturity,
gestation (or incubation), litter (or clutch) size, litters (or clutches)
per year, weight at birth, and adult body weight. Metabolic rate data is
also available for hundreds of species of birds and mammals.
AnAge is freely available online at:

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks,
Joao Pedro
