The presence and form of senescence in wild populations is of broad theoretical interest (e.g., Cohen 2015, Nussey et al. 2013), and mortality schedules have obvious practical implications for constructing demographic models for ecological research and conservation (e.g., Robert et al. 2015, Hassall et al. 2017). Therefore, there has been great interest in the diversity of patterns of senescence among animals, with Chelonians often cited as examples of negligible senescence (e.g., Jones et al. 2014, Cohen 2018).
