Diversity of ageing across the tree of life
I stumbled across this paper when looking for survivorship information on different species and it has be a great teaching resource. Mostly I use the subplots of Figure 1 (partially reproduced here) which has a whole bunch of graphs of relative mortality and fertility as a function of age for a wide range of taxa.

When you go to the Nature site for this paper be sure to check out the "related audio" which has a nice discussion with the authors about the paper.
