In vertebrates such as rodents, it’s been shown that they live shorter in hot environments or longer in cold ones. This suggests a clear inverse correlation between lifespan and environmental temperature across different animal models.

It's known that low temperatures extend lifespan in different animal models — for example, in invertebrates like worms (see image) and flies. Will this be consistent in vertebrate animal models too?

We are not surprised. Studies from around the world report the same pattern: more heat, more miscarriages during the first trimester of pregnancy. Fewer babies are being born in the Q1 of the year. We need new solutions to protect ourselves from rising temperatures. #GlobalWarming #Miscarriage #Heat

Rats and naked mole rats, two similar small mammals, however one lives less than 3-years, the other one more than 30... What could be the key differences that explain such a dramatic gap in lifespan?

After reviewing nearly 2,000 interventions that affect lifespan in rodents, Im still intrigued by this report:
Do mice live longer at 21°C or shorter at 32.5°C?
