What’s next? • Time averages • Cumulative pop growth • Stochastic sequences • Spatial population dynamics • Age from stage • Integral projection models
What’s next? • Time averages • Cumulative pop growth • Stochastic sequences
Geometric mean • By what factor does the population multiply each year on average? • Population growth is a multiplicative process! • If there are t time steps, we want the tth root.
Projection with temporal variation n(t+1) = A1 n(t) n(t+2) = A2 n(t+1) n(t+3) = A2 n(t+2) n(t+4) = A1 n(t+3) n(t+5) = A3 n(t+4)
Fixed sequence: growth rate per cycle, averaged per time unit A1 , A2, A2, A1, A3, A1 , A2, A2, A1, A3, A1 , A2, A2, A1, A3, ... ∑n(t+5) / ∑n(t) =λ5 The fifth root = annual

Population growth in a random environment = the stochastic growth rate A1 , A3, A1, A3, A1 , A3, A1, A3, A1, A2, A1 , A3, A1 , A3,A2, A2,...
Concepts of stochastic sequence demography • Cumulative population growth rate (Nt/N0) • lognormally distribution (mean mode) • Time average (the tth root) • Sequence matters (AB BA) • Probability distribution of sequences
…stochastic demography (cont’d) • Each sequence (s time steps) • cumulative population growth of each (Ns/N0) • time average of each (over many time steps) (sth root) • Average cumulative population growth • mean (Ns/N0) over many sequences of particular length • time average of this mean • no sequence may actually experience the mean
…stochastic demography (cont’d) • Time average of one sequence time average of the mean cumulative population growth • Time average of a very long sequence is equivalent to the average of time averages and gives the long run population growth rate
Connecting ’s to averages • Megamatrix = time average of mean cumulative population growth of a very large number of patches • Stochastic sequence = mean of time averages = long run population growth rate
Stochastic demography • Growth rates • megamatrix • average population • mean matrix • expected stochastic sequence • Sensitivity of the stochastic growth rate • Mean of transitions • Variance of transitions • Transitions in specific environments
Stochastic demography…more • Small noise approximation • Don’t forget the covariance! • Temporal autocorrelation (Haridas and Tuljapurkar 2006) • Elasticity to variability within and between disturbance phases (Morris et al.) • Other cool stuff • “real time” elasticities: separate perturbation of structure from perturbation of matrix elements (Haridas and Tuljapurkar) • Age-specific survivorship and stage-conditional life expectancy (Tuljapurkar and Horvitz 2006) • Integrated stochastic selection (Horvitz, Tuljapurkar, Coulson and Schemske)
