Abstract

The evolution of massive stars strongly depends on both mass loss and rotation. We show that the account of rotation modifies all the output of stellar evolution: tracks in the HRD, lifetimes, age determinations, chemical abundances, balance between blue and red supergiants as well as all the properties of WR stars.
