Estimation of Contributions to Population Growth: A Reverse-time Capture-recapture Approach

Ecology, 81(12), 2000, pp. 3362-3376.

Table 3. Estimates of population change for both adults ( ) and adults + young ( ), and relative contributions to adult population growth of adult survival , fecundity and young survival , and immigration from outside the study area for meadow voles trapped at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland, June - December, 1981.
