Starvation is common among wild animal populations, and many individuals experience
repeated bouts of starvation over the course of their lives. Although much information has …

The mortality of organisms exposed to toxicants has been attributed to either stochastic
processes or individual tolerance (IT), leading to the stochastic death (SD) and IT models …

Pitfall trapping is a widely used sampling technique that is standardly employed to collect
