Abstract
Mortality statistics from three captive populations of chimpanzees (Pa n troglodytes) were combined to generate standard model life tables fo r each sex in this species. The model is compared to an estimate of su rvivorship of a group of wild animals, and is applied to an incomplete data set to illustrate how the model may be used to extend estimates of mortality statistics to missing older ages.
