A long-term age-specific survival analysis of female white-tailed deer
Article Abstract:
A 13-year survival (time survived since birth) and cause-specific mortality study, divided into 2 phases, (phase I covering the period 1-6 years and phase II 7-13 years) of female white-tailed deer during extreme variability in winter severity and hunting pressure is conducted. Results reveal that the greatest risk of mortality is in the first year of life and models using the constructed discrete time variable give unbiased survival estimates.
