Change in life expectancy and stable age distribution of the diamondback moth, plutella xylostella (l.) after indoxacarb treatment... The aim of the present study was to determine the behavior of Plutella xylo-stella when exposed to sublethal doses of indoxacarb in terms of the age-specific fecundity (mx), life expectancy (ex) and stable age distribution (Cx)....
Sex ratio strategies after perturbation of the stable age distributionAnimals with overlapping generations may be selected to change their sex ratios after perturbation of the stable age distribution [ Speci_cally \ Werren and Taylor have shown that in a tightly regulated population with normally constant recruitment \ sex ratios are biased at times...
Deviations from stable age distribution in simulations.... The 20-generations curve shows the approximate stable age distribution....
A dynamic model for estimating adult female mortality from ovarian dissection data for the tsetse fly glossina pallidipes austen sampled in zimbabwe... Existing methods for estimating mortality in adult tsetse, from ovarian dissection data, often use invalid assumptions of the existence of a stable age distribution, and age-invariant mortality and capture probability....
