Investigations to determine stable or source-sink animal population dynamics are challenging and often infeasible for most species due to the time and expense of mark-recapture studies and the challenge of life histories attributes that result in low detectability and low recapture probabilities.
This is neither fictionalised history (attributing imaginary thoughts and deeds to real people) nor fictional documentary (as in a film such as Best in Show).
Jeanne Calment, who had the longest confirmed human life span in history, attributed her longevity – she died in 1998 aged 122 years, five months and 14 days – to a diet rich in olive oil, regular glasses of port and her ability to "keep smiling".
Under-responding can result in death, while continually over-responding can waste precious energy reserves and compromise important life history attributes such as growth and reproduction.
Delayed maturation and age-biased dispersal work in concert under past selection to maximize individual fitness and contribute to population viability; however, these life history attributes can become dysfunctional in a dynamic, anthropogenic landscape when important population demographics cannot redistribute in response to novel landscape change.
Oral history attributes the creation of the lake to Andrianampoinimerina.
Oral history attributes numerous significant and lasting political and cultural innovations to King Ralambo.
As for Chinese losses, Peng estimated 45,000 casualties by the end of the battle, and the official Chinese history attributed 20,000 casualties to combat, while the rest were attributed to the lack of adequate winter clothing and the lack of food.
While the origins of the hira gasy are uncertain, oral history attributes its modern form to 18th century Merina king Andrianampoinimerina, who reportedly employed musicians to gather the public together for royal speeches and announcements (kabary) and to entertain them as they labored on public works projects such as building dikes to irrigate the rice paddies surrounding Antananarivo.
The aquarium trade targets species having a combination of aesthetic appeal, as well as life history attributes that aid survival in captivity.
