Appendix A. Morphological, behavioral, and demographic data and references for 58 mammal species.

Table A1. Morphological, behavioral, and demographic data and references for 58 mammal species. Specific parameters used to model survivorship can be found in Lynch and Fagan (2009). AnAge refers to the Database of Animal Ageing and Longevity (de Magalhaes and Costa 2009). Parameters that were not available in AnAge were taken from the literature based on literature survey in Web of Science, with the parameter's name and the scientific name of the species of interest as keywords. When several papers were found with different estimates of the demographic parameter of interest, we used estimates based on the largest sample size. All masses obtained from Lynch and Fagan (2009).

Number of species by Order.
