For species with very long life spans (everything from Johnathan, the 187-year-old tortoise, or Pando, the 80,000-year-old clonal tree system), are there observable evolutionary differences between old, still-living individuals and "newborn" individuals?

[SP] Ten stood in a line. One would die at the hands of the other nine. Decimation.
