How it works

For R = 17 and T less than or equal to R, senescence was catastrophic immediately after reproduction. — Catastrophic senescence and semelparity in the Penna aging model
Survival stayed relatively high until reproduction and then sharply dropped at age R + 1. — Catastrophic senescence and semelparity in the Penna aging model
When T exceeds R, the main survival collapse occurs at the mutation threshold age instead of immediately after reproduction. — Catastrophic senescence and semelparity in the Penna aging model
When T is less than or equal to R, harmful mutations after reproductive age drive a sharp survival loss at R + 1. — Catastrophic senescence and semelparity in the Penna aging model
For higher thresholds within T less than or equal to R, immediate post-reproductive collapse can be less complete. — Catastrophic senescence and semelparity in the Penna aging model
