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 BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a national project aimed at keeping track of changes in the breeding populations of widespread bird species in the UK. [3] The program started in 1992, and has been successfully used by Governments and different non-Governmental organizations for bird conservation purposes since 1994.
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]
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
Due to the increasing human use of coastal waters, Parish envisioned a program that could provide data on both resident and migrant species of birds; mortality rates after oil spills; levels of chronic oiling, information regarding some incidents of entanglement with fishing gear; and causes of death for seabird populations. Since a live bird ...

Mortality on breeding grounds: small, insect eating birds contribute to the majority of post-arrival deaths, but many other birds including waders and waterfowls are also distressed by weather changes on breeding grounds. Since young birds are inexperienced, they are more vulnerable than adults to extreme weather conditions. [1] Mortality on ...
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.”
