Fig. 2

Postreproductive representation values of long-lived mammals by maximum female lifespan. Species labels are above or below their point, with * indicating the species has early reproductive cessation. Colour of points indicates significance of PrR- (circle; see [7]) and physiologically-derived PrR-values (square; see [14]): black for significant, grey for non-significant, and white for not assessed. PrR-values for humans and Asian elephants (E. maximus, white) from [16], Asian elephants (black) from this paper, killer whales (O. orca), chimpanzees (P. troglodytes), short-finned pilot whales (G. macrorhychus), and African elephants (L. Africana) from [3], false killer whales (P. crassidens) from [15], and physiological PrR-values for narwhals (M. monoceros), beluga whales (D. leucas), false killer whales, and short-finned pilot whales from [14]. Maximum female lifespan from [16] (Asian elephants and pre-industrial Finns), [34] (African elephants), [35] (killer whales), [15] (false killer whales), [36] (chimpanzees), [37] (short-finned pilot whales), [38] (narwhals), and [39] (beluga whales)
