Examples are given of assessment of the longevity of individuals in a whole population on this basis of information on the longevity of defined age groups, and assessment of the longevity of a selected group on the basis of information concerning the whole population. Using the geometrical truncated distribution an example is given of assessment of the trapping probability of an individual and assessment in the numbers of the given population for a short period.}, title={Truncated distributions and their application in ecology}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/71181/PDF/WA058_86375_P2840-T18_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-40.pdf}, volume={18}, number={40}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={PaƄstwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe}, keywords={ecology, statistical methods, turncated distributions}, }
