abstract = {{Advances in comparative ageing research strongly depend on data quality and quantity. Across the world, zoos and aquariums gather data on the physiology, morphology, health and demography of the animals under their care to facilitate their management. Many of these data are hosted in a centralized database, the Species360 Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS). As of 2022, ZIMS held records on {\textasciitilde}10 million individuals across 22,000 species and over 1200 member institutions, with historical animal records dating back to the mid-1800s. These millions of age-specific data could enable analyses testing hypotheses at individual and species levels and between species with vastly different life history strategies. This chapter summarizes the diversity of questions (ranging from evolutionary theories to mechanistic hypotheses) for ageing research that could be addressed using data from zoo and aquarium populations. In addition, many of these studies could inform the management and conservation of animals, not only in zoos and aquariums, but also in the wild.}},
