 As odd as it may sound, this is a difficult question for a huge proportion of organisms. Therefore defining birth and death is far from trivial.

 In general we do not know the exact size of populations in field or even in lab conditions. The same is true for other demographic parameters, like survival or fecundity. So we have to rely on //estimates// of population parameters. This is a very active topic in ecological statistics. See Chapter I of the book [[https://www.elsevier.com/books/occupancy-estimation-and-modeling/mackenzie/978-0-12-088766-8|Occupancy Estimation and Modeling]] for a nice overview.  In general we do not know the exact size of populations in field or even in lab conditions.
