Document Summary
Doing a lot with a ittle-data limitations. A little variation in reproduction success can have huge impacts on population growth. Not all life strastegies are equally important for population growth. Putting it all together for conservation- managing for population growth with limited data. Demography: what can be measured total population size: (nt) Key issue: these data are relatively easy to collect. If population growth lamda was the same every year, prediction of population growth would be easy. But spatial variation among populations is also present females in the pop. ], [1. 16 with prob ]-within a given year) Imagine a population where nt+1= tnt where t=(0. 86 with prob [half the. Arithmetic mean of the 2 "s in 1. 01 which would be the case for deterministic (nonrandom) growth. If you start with 100 individuals and the population grows for 500 generations then n500=n0(1. 01)500=14,477=(100)(144. 77)=14,477. But population growth is subject to stochasticity [random variation]
