Maximum longevity

Observations

A study in caloric restriction has shown that, for these insects, a decrease in the resting metabolic rate was not the main cause in changes of longevity. Furthermore, caloric restriction and lower levels of resting metabolic rate were shown to cause a slower progression through the pre-adult life stages of the Indian stick insect [1441].
