The stock–recruit steepness (h) and compensation ratio are alternative measures of the degree of density-dependent recruitment. They relate similarly to the longevity-related life-history traits (LRLHTs), but studies using information-generating equations and describing such relationships convey three conflicting perceptions. Perception 1 is that h and the compensation ratio decrease as longevity increases and are highest in short-lived, high-productivity species. This perception, usually believed to be inherent in the definition of steepness, is not substantiated by the very definition and, hence, theoretically is wrong. Perception 2 is that h and the compensation ratio increase with longevity and are highest in long-lived, low-productivity species; this perception may occur when the relationships between natural mortality and other LRLHTs are strong, and is most likely correct. Perception 3 is that h and the compensation ratio are independent of LRLHTs; this perception may be caused by the lack of the relationships between natural mortality and other LRLHTs, and is a distortion of perception 2.

基于信息生成方程的依赖密度的募集生命历史协变量的相互矛盾的看法

储备-招聘陡度（h）和补偿率是依赖密度的招聘程度的替代度量。它们与长寿相关的生活史特征（LRLHT）相似，但是使用信息生成方程式并描述这种关系的研究传达了三种相互矛盾的看法。知觉1是h和补偿率随着寿命的增加而降低，并且在短命的高生产率物种中最高。通常认为是陡峭度定义固有的这种感觉不能通过该定义得到证实，因此从理论上讲是错误的。感知2是h补偿率随着寿命的延长而增加，在寿命长，生产力低的物种中最高；当自然死亡率与其他LRLHT之间的关系牢固且很可能是正确的时，可能会发生这种看法。感知3是h和补偿率与LRLHT无关；这种感觉可能是由于自然死亡率与其他LRLHTs之间缺乏联系而造成的，并且是对感觉的一种扭曲2。
