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

How to measure premature mortality? A proposal combining “relative” and “absolute” approaches
TL;DR: A hybrid approach using a hierarchical model, in which senescent deaths distribution is held constant for each country as a pivotal quantity and the premature mortality distribution is allowed to vary across countries, could provide a valid alternative way to measure and compare premature mortality across countries.
Modeling Population Growth and Response to Harvest for River Otters in Illinois
TL;DR: In this article, the authors created a state-space population model for unharvested river otters in the Illinois, Kaskaskia, and Wabash river basins in Illinois, and modeled future harvest at 5, 10, and 20% levels.

TL;DR: The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins as mentioned in this paper .
Human uniqueness? Life history diversity among small-scale societies and chimpanzees.
Raziel Davison,Michael Gurven +1 more
TL;DR: Davison et al. as discussed by the authors compare wild chimpanzees and human subsistence societies in order to identify the age-specific vital rates that best explain fitness variation, selection pressures and species divergence.

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.
