Linking the maximum reported life span to the aging rate in wild birds
We explicitly linked the maximum reported life span to the aging process by employing a Weibull distribution and calculating the shape parameter in the model for 246 bird species based on published information from EURING. Abstract Dozens of surrogates have been used to reflect the rate of aging in comparative biology.
