It scares me to look back at my life and think I'm not going to leave anything behind; a hyper-awareness of mortality drives you to work hard in this field.' He pauses, finishes the beer.
Opportunistic surveillance of bird deaths in Britain since 2000 has shown a seasonal pattern in finch mortality driven primarily by low-levels of salmonellosis (Fig. 1, [15]).
The predictability and fitness implications of high intra-brood variation in post-hatching offspring mortality driven primarily by hatching order (and therefore ovulation order) should strongly influence how mothers differentially tailor investment toward, allocate resources to, and manipulate sex of simultaneously dependent sibling eggs [11] [17].
For AIS, a slightly reduced short-term mortality, driven by alendronate, was seen.
Third, we observed a U-shaped relation of leptin with total mortality driven primarily by an association of leptin with non-CVD mortality.
Here, I perform what I believe to be the first clear test of whether extrinsic mortality drives among-species differences in allocation to growth and reproduction.
Scenario E (' Evolution, mortality driven by low level of cumulated carbon reserve'), in which mortality only occurred when the carbon reserve at the end of the year (CumCR) fell below a critical value (Type I mortality, Table 1).
Scenario F (' Evolution, mortality driven by low level of carbon reserve at budburst'), in which mortality only occurred when the carbon reserve before budburst (bbCR) fell below a critical value (Type II mortality, Table 1).
Women in the highest compared with the lowest quartile of the 'unhealthy' pattern were at an increased risk of overall mortality, driven by an increased risk of non-breast cancer mortality (HR, 3.69; 95% CI, 1.66 8.17; P-trend<0.001; Table 2).
