Description
Survivorship assesses the likelihood that an individual will make it to the subsequent year. In predator free environments survivorship can be influenced by resource availability, stochastic environmental components and the harvesting. Harvesting is typically non-random, deviates from patterns of natural mortality, and selects individuals of certain sex, age, and phenotypic class. Our study investigates hunter preference and looks to see if hunting patterns mimic natural mortality.
