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