Across
  1. 3. average number of offspring produced by an individual during its lifetime
  2. 4. eigenvalue with the largest absolute value
  3. 7. an individuals potential for contributing offspring to future generations
  4. 8. sensitivities that have been weighted by the transition probabilities
  5. 9. how the total population is spread amongst each life cycle state
  6. 11. relationship between the fecundity at a certain age and survivorship at that age
  7. 13. the scalar factor by which the eigenvector is scaled
  8. 14. the average number of female offspring born to each female
  9. 16. varies according to age and/or stage
  10. 18. method used to assess the likelihood that a population will persist over time
Down
  1. 1. representation of the stages of an organism's evolution over time
  2. 2. direct contributions of each transition to determining lambda
  3. 5. age specific population projection matrix with same number of rows as columns
  4. 6. number of individuals at a certain age in a certain year
  5. 10. population growth rate
  6. 12. a non-zero vector that changed only by a scalar factor when that matrix is applied to it
  7. 15. the study of statistics such as births, deaths, the incidence of disease, that illustrate the changing structure of populations
  8. 17. stage-based matrix used to model population growth in organisms grouped by stages (4x4)
