Assessing the Diversity of the Form of Age-Specific Changes in Adult Mortality from Captive Mammalian Populations
Actuarial senescence (i.e., the age-specific increase in mortality rate) is pervasive across mammalian species, but our current understanding of the diversity of forms that actuarial senescence displays across species remains limited. Although several mathematical models have been proposed to model...
