Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and h_a only
- Reproductive output is assumed to correspond to death at 600 d
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- typically lives for 1 yr, some reach 2 yr; Programmed death, not by ageing (Ref: Wiki)
