This is a list of U.S. states, the District of Columbia and territories by infant mortality rates in 2021. The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country. The child mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants ...
Some birds and some lizards follow this pattern. Type III or concave curves have the greatest mortality (lowest age-specific survival) early in life, with relatively low rates of death (high probability of survival) for those surviving this bottleneck. This type of curve is characteristic of species that produce a large number of offspring ...

The bird at the center of the worst single-species mortality event in modern history isn’t recovering, scientists say Julianna Bragg, CNN December 26, 2024 at 11:18 AM
Mourning doves are prolific breeders. In warmer areas, these birds may raise up to six broods in a season. [33] This fast breeding is essential because mortality is high. Each year, mortality can reach 58% a year for adults and 69% for the young. [38] The mourning dove is generally monogamous and forms strong pair bonds. [38]
Wildlife experts in at least six states are investigating the cause of the bird deaths. Birds acting blind when approached, dying by hundreds. Scientists don't know why.
The other significant advantage is the chance for the healthiest young animals to be favored from a group. Rather than it being a conscious decision on the part of the parents, the fittest and strongest baby competes most successfully for food and space, leaving the weakest young, or runts, to die through lack of care.
While the mortality rate was 0.6 per cent for Covid-19, Redfield said the mortality for the bird flu would probably be “somewhere between 25 and 50 per cent.”
