J. Econ. Entomol. 91 (1): 34-40 (1998) ABSTRACT Effects of 3 conventional insecticides (methyl parathion, azinphos-methyl, cypermethrin) and 3 insect growth regulators (fenoxycarb, diflubenzuron, and tebufenozide) on life-table parameters of Micromus tasmaniae Walker were determined in adults derived from insecticide-treated larvae. The following parameters were compared with the control: sex r...

After a background discussion, life table construction and methodology are discussed, with references. Complete life tables are utilized for U.S. white men and women, based on the published data from birth to age 109, in the 1989-91 population. A previously published method is described for adding EDR to the population mortality rate q’ to derive a life table for a cohort with defined age, sex,...

BACKGROUND The age distribution and remaining lifespan distribution are identical in stationary populations. The life table survival function is proportional to the age distribution in stationary populations. OBJECTIVE We provide an alternative interpretation of the life table when viewed by remaining years of life. CONCLUSIONS The functions describing the mortality of birth cohorts over ag...
