Research Reports: A Computer Program for Calculation and Statistical Comparison of Intrinsic Rates of Increase and Associated Life Table Parameters
Abstract
An often crucial component in the study of insects is the determination of reproductive capabilities. While it is important to study reproduction at the level of the individual, it is often more desirable to develop a standardized estimate of the growth rate of insect populations. One such estimator, the intrinsic rate of increase (r@Downloads
