The Basics
Populations rarely have a constant size
Intrinsic Factors
BIRTH
IMMIGRATION
DEATH
EMIGRATION
Extrinsic factors
Predation
Weather
Nt+1 = Nt + B + D + E + I
Populations grow IF (B + I) > (D + E)
Populations shrink IF (D + E) > (B + I)
Diagrammatic Life-Tables….
What is a population?
Assume E = I

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-overlapping
generations, it is also the multiplication factor that converts an original
population size into a new population size – ONE GENERATION later

Fundamental Reproductive Rate (R) = Nt+1 / Nt
IF Nt = 10, Nt+1 = 20: R = 20 / 10 = 2
Populations will increase in size if R >1Populations 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
Population size at t+1 = Nt.RPopulation size at t+2 = Nt.R.RPopulation size at t+3 = Nt.R.R.R
Nt = N0.Rt
R0 cannot be used to predict population sizes at one time interval to another, if
the populations have overlapping generations – to do that we need to calculate R

Nt = N0.Rt Overlapping generations
NT = N0.R0Non-overlapping generations
NT = N0.RTIF 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 – already know R0
X = age class
How do you calculate R from a life-table? - Indirectly

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

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
[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
To convert FINITE rates at one scale to (adjusted) finite rates at another:
e.g. convert annual survival (p) = 0.5, to monthly survival
Adjusted = Observed ts/to = 0.5 1/12 = 0.5 0.083 = 0.944
e.g. convert daily survival (p) = 0.99, to annual survival
Adjusted = Observed ts/to = 0.99 365/1 = 0.99 365 = 0.0255

INSTANTANEOUS MORTALITY rates = Loge (FINITE SURVIVAL rates)
ALWAYS negative
Finite Mortality Rate = 1 – Finite Survival rate: (q = 1 – p)
Finite Mortality Rate = 1.0 – e Instantaneous Mortality Rate
MUST SPECIFY TIME UNITS
E.G.IF FINITE SURVIVAL (p) = 0.35, then INSTANEAOUS MORTALITY (Z) = - 1.05

Age Classtime
NB – R eventually stabilises
R = (Nt+1) / Nt
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)

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
vx* = [(vx+1.lx+1) / (lx.R)]
vx* = residual reproductive value
vx = mx + vx*This expression can
ONLY be used to calculate vx* IF the time
intervals used in the life-table are equal.
To calculate vx* work backwards in the life-table, because vx* = 0 in the last year of life

All the calculations that we have hitherto done concern populations displaying, pulsed births - where reproduction is concentrated at a single point when individuals leave an age class.
In birth flow populations, there is a constant addition of individuals to an age class and constant leaving. Furthermore, reproduction is spread across an age class, so that individuals at the end of age class may produce a different number of offspring to those at the start of an age class.

First of all we must assume that all reproduction occurs at the mid-point
of an age-class. The mx values are appropriate for the end of an x class - not at the middle - need get average.
To get at average of mx and mx+1 = (mx-
1 + mx)/2

NEXT - need to consider survival from period from x-1 through x to x+1
i.e. px = [(lx + lx+1)/2] / [(lx + lx-1)/2] = [(lx + lx+1)] / [(lx + lx-1)]
and so we then adjust mx * as: mx * = ((mx-1 + pxmx)/2

These values of mx now get used in projections of your population
NOTE - px values used in the life tables, and calculations therein, do not change. I.e. px (birth-flow) = px (birth-pulse) and the revised px values above
are only used to calculate mx values.
