  12. Σ lxmx = R0 = 0.51 N0 . R0 = 44000 . 0.51 = 22400 = NT Generation time Σ lxmx = R0 = ΣFx / a0 = Basic Reproductive rate R0 = mean number of offspring produced per original individual by the end of the cohort It indicates the mean number of offspring produced (on average) by an individual over the course of its life, AND, in the case of species with non-overlappinggenerations, it is also the multiplication factor that converts an original population size into a new population size – ONE GENERATION later R0 is a predictor that can be used to project populations into the future – in terms of generations

  13. For populations with overlapping generations, we must tackle the problem in a roundabout manner Fundamental Reproductive Rate (R) = Nt+1 / Nt IF Nt = 10, Nt+1 = 20: R = 20 / 10 = 2 Populations will increase in size if R >1 Populations will decrease in size if R < 1 Populations will remain the same size if R = 1 R combines birth of new individuals with the survival of existing individuals R0 ONLY reflects the birth of new individuals (survival = 0) Population size at t+1 = Nt.R Population size at t+2 = Nt.R.R Population size at t+3 = Nt.R.R.R Nt = N0.Rt

  14. Nt = N0.Rt Overlapping generations NT = N0.R0 Non-overlapping generations NT = N0.RT IF t = T, then R0 = RT lnR0 = T.lnR Can now link R0 and R: T = Σxlxmx / R0 T can be calculated from the cohort life tables X = age class lnR = r = lnR0 / T = intrinsic rate of natural increase

  15. L average number of surviving individuals in consecutive stage/age classes: (ax + ax+1) / 2 n T cumulative L: ΣLx i e life expectancy: Tx / ax NB. Units of e must be the same as those of x Thus if x is measured in intervals of 3 months, then e must be multiplied by 3 to give life expectancy in terms of months Other statistics that you can calculate from basic life tables Life Expectancy – average length of time that an individual of age x can expect to live Can also calculate T and L using lx values T and L are confusing – call them Bob (L) and Margaret (T)

  16. To convert FINITE rates at one scale to (adjusted) finite rates at another: [Adjusted FINITE] = [Observed FINITE] ts/to Where ts = Standardised time interval (e.g. 30 days, 1 day, 365 days, 12 months etc) to = Observed time interval e.g. convert annual survival (p) = 0.5, to monthly survival e.g. convert daily survival (p) = 0.99, to annual survival Adjusted = Observed ts/to Adjusted = Observed ts/to = 0.5 1/12 = 0.99 365/1 = 0.5 0.083 = 0.99 365 = 0.944 = 0.0255 A note on finite and instantaneous rates The values of p, q hitherto collected are FINITE rates: units of time those of x expressed in the life-tables (months, days, three-months etc) They have limited value in comparisons unless same units used

  17. INSTANTANEOUS MORTALITY rates = Loge (FINITE SURVIVAL rates) ALWAYS negative Finite Mortality Rate = 1 – Finite Survival rate Finite Mortality Rate = 1.0 – e Instantaneous Mortality Rate MUST SPECIFY TIME UNITS

  20. R = (Nt+1) / Nt NB – R eventually stabilises Converting NUMBERS of each age class to PROPORTIONS (of the TOTAL) generates the age-structure of the population. NOTE, when R stabilises, so too does the age-structure, and this is known as the stable-age distribution of the population, and proportions represent TERMS (cx)

  21. Calculating Birth Rate First n Divide by No Individuals producing them: Σax No Births = No a0 1 e.g. B = 35648277 / (1685933 + 80401 + 0) = 20.1821 Because the terms of the stable age distribution are fixed at constant R, we can partition r (lnR) into birth and death per individual Nt+1 = Nt.(Survival Rate) + Nt.(Survival Rate).(Birth Rate) Nt+1 = Nt.(Survival Rate).(1 + Birth Rate)

  22. Calculating Survival Rate Survivors: Total number of individuals at time t, older than 0: n Σax Survival Rate: No Survivors at time t, divided by total population size at time t-1 1 e.g. Survival Rate (t4) = No survivors (t4) / total population size (t3) S = 348069 / 1452894 = 0.2396

  23. At Stable-Age B = 20.1821 S = 0.2396 NOTE Annual Survival Rate for an individual in the population is in the range p0, p1, p2, but NOT the average Annual Birth Rate for an individual in the population is between m1 and m2, but NOT the average Nt+1 = Nt.(Survival Rate).(1 + Birth Rate) Nt+1 / Nt = R = er = (Survival Rate).(1 + Birth Rate) R = 0.2396 x (20.1821 + 1) = 5.07

  24. This expression can ONLY be used to calculate vx* IF the time intervals used in the life-table are equal. vx = mx + vx* vx* = [(vx+1.lx+1) / (lx.R)] vx* = residual reproductive value To calculate vx* work backwards in the life-table, because vx* = 0 in the last year of life Copy upwards Reproductive Value (vx) – a measure of present and future contributions by the different age classes of a population to R vx is calculated as the number of offspring produced by an individual age x and older, divided by the number of individuals age x right now
