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