Appendix F. Absolute values of stochastic sensitivities and elasticities to the vital rate means and standard deviations summed over vital rate types in five study populations.

Table F1. Absolute values of stochastic sensitivities and elasticities to the vital rate means and standard deviations summed over vital rate types in five study populations.�Baseline estimates as well as 95% confidence limits based on 1000 bootstrap samples are shown. S = survival; G = growth; R = reversion; F = fertility.�The highest baseline value in each population is in bold; an asterisk indicates that this value is significantly higher than any other (i.e., its lower confidence limit exceeds the upper limit for all other vital rate types).
