The adequacy of aging techniques in vertebrates for rapid estimation of population mortality rates from age distributions
Abstract As a key parameter in population dynamics, mortality rates are frequently estimated using mark–recapture data, which requires extensive, long‐term data sets. As a potential rapid alternative, we can measure variables correlated to age, allowing the compilation of population age distribution...
