Question on survivorship for pre-emergence<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Dear Fabiano,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> I am no sure what you mean by "pre-emergence litters". I'm not
sure if this will answer your question, but so far BaSTA only deals with
survival data, although we are envisioning to extend it also to analyzing
fertility. </DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Hi all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am busy sorting out my data to run with BaSTA. I have a question. In
most cases no data in available for pre-emergence litters. How does BaSTA
handles this? Or is it similar to ways previously used like in
life-tables?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
