A Competing‐Risk Model for Animal Mortality
TL;DR: A three—component competing—rick model for animal mortality is presented, in which the additive hazards include a new model, dominant during the prematurity period; a constant hazard, dominant During the period of maturity; and the conventional Gompertz hazard, dominates during senescence.

Abstract: A three—component competing—rick model for animal mortality is presented, in which the additive hazards include a new model, dominant during the prematurity period; a constant hazard, dominant during the period of maturity; and the conventional Gompertz hazard, dominant during senescence. A good fit of the model is obtained to survival data for a variety of species, with both laboratory and field data being represented. Interpretation of the model parameters in terms of animal adjustment to hazards is offered. See full-text article at JSTOR

TL;DR: In coastal waters of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) is thought to number approximately 2500 individuals.

Age-specific fertility and fecundity in northern free-ranging white-tailed deer: evidence for reproductive senescence?
TL;DR: It is observed that older does comprise a relatively small proportion of the population, fecundity rates of these females have little impact on population change (λ); however, their ultimate value to the population may be in their life-long reproductive success and associated genetic contribution.

TL;DR: The approach provided indicators of the status and trajectory of the common dolphin population in the eastern North Atlantic and therefore proved to be a valuable tool for management, applicable to other dolphin populations.
Dynamics of a Feral Horse Population in Montana
Robert A. Garrott,Lynne Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: The dynamics of an isolated feral horse population from 1970 to 1986 was studied by analyzing data collected by the Bureau of Land Management, finding that primiparous females were less likely to reproduce the following year.

Bio-mathematical approaches to the study of human variation in mortality
TL;DR: The biological basis of a number of biologically interpretable mathematical models of human mortality, the results of four anthropological applications, and a stochastic compartment model useful for studying the covariates of mortality are presented.

Theoretical explanation of observed decreasing failure rate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the theorem that a mixture of distributions each having a non-increasing failure rate (e.g., a mix of exponential distributions) itself has a non increasing failure rate, and the apparent decreasing failure rate of the pooled air-conditioning life distribution was satisfactorily explained.

An analysis of some failure data
TL;DR: The rationale and statistical techniques employed in the analysis of some failure data obtained from operations performed by machines and people are summarized and the agreement between theory and data is evaluated.
