Resumen:
Recently Mou et al. (2015) recommended that in population studies in which hatch rates varies with maternal age, demographic parameters should be calculated excluding unhatched eggs. A mathematical proof was provided to support this. In this note we expose a flaw in their proof and show that the demographic parameters do not differ by considering either all eggs or only viable ones. Keywords: net reproductive rate, generation time, intrinsic rate of instantaneous growth, hatch rate.
