Human hunting mortality threshold rules for extinction in mammals (and fish)

Creator:

Abstract:

Question: Are there general life-history rules for exploitation-caused extinction of mammal populations? Mathematical methods: A population of size N faced with the added mortality of human exploitation will deterministically go extinct if its per-capita birth rate can no longer match its per-capita mortality rate as N approaches zero. We develop...
