- Natural mortality is derived from a Gompertz survivorship relationship using initial cohort mortality, actuarial aging rate, and expected lifetime. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
- Natural mortality and starvation mainly affect small mammals in the model. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
- Initial cohort mortality must rise by about an order of magnitude for natural mortality to approach reproduction and visibly depress densities. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
- Senescence is difficult to detect allometrically because actuarial mortality can make mortality scaling resemble reproductive scaling. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
