Evolutionary biology

the result that the strength of selection on survival and fecundity falls with age once reproduction begins, which makes senescence evolutionarily expected.

In evolutionary biology, Hamilton's forces of natural selection refers to the result that the strength of selection on survival and fecundity falls with age once reproduction begins, which makes senescence evolutionarily expected. This meaning comes from Hamilton (1966) in Journal of Theoretical Biology.[1]
