Abstract: Across vertebrates, species with intense male mating competition and high levels of sexual dimorphism in body size generally exhibit dimorphism in age-specific fertility. Compared with females, males show later ages at first reproduction and earlier… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01966324.2018.1491355
Abstract: Synoptic Abstract The article considers various parametric models proposed for studying age-specific fertility patterns and develops a Bayesian alternative for their analyses. The analysis is done using weak proper priors for the parameters. Since the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0190574
Abstract: This study aims to understand trends in global fertility from 1950-2010 though the analysis of age-specific fertility rates. This approach incorporates both the overall level, as when the total fertility rate is modeled, and different… read more here.

DOI: 10.25133/jpssv26n2.009
Abstract: Fertility has become the most important biological factor in predicting population growth due to significant improvements in reducing mortality. Fertility projections are important in predicting the demand for water, food, medical services and other basic… read more here.
