Compensatory growth, known as catch-up growth and compensatory gain, is an accelerated growth of an organism following a period of slowed development,...

As with other small birds, infection by parasites and diseases, and predation by birds of prey take their toll, and the typical life span is about two...

population size. The harvest within the harvestable surplus is termed "compensatory" mortality, where the harvest deaths are substituted for the deaths that...

made them prime targets for predatory interests who siphoned off their compensatory money from the state, to the point where a federal judge had to intervene...

popular game bird. Mortality due to hunting is generally considered to be compensatory and replacive, where until mortality reaches a "threshold value", it...

mortality rate is also referred to as harvesting effect. The subsequent, compensatory reduction in mortality suggests that the heat wave especially affected...
