Multiscale dynamical network mechanisms underlying aging of an online organism from birth to death

Abstract We present the continuous-time evolution of an online organism network from birth to death which crosses all organizational and temporal scales, from individual components through to the mesoscopic and entire system scale. These continuous-time data reveal a lifespan driven by punctuated, r...
