Evolutionary dynamics of aging. A one period of the fecundity target (left) and a possible realization with an actual series of genotype sequences tracing it by mutations (right), B the evolution of the average fecundity genotype toward the moving target through 4 target periods (4,000 generations) (upper plot) and the lattice average of the aging rate during these 4 target periods in the directional selection regime (lower plot), C consecutive snapshots of simulations with sexual reproduction. Top row: transient phase; bottom row: stationary phase. Parameter values as in Table 1
