Description

This supplement contains the estimates for all vital rates, the sampling-variation-corrected variances of the survival, growth, and reversion probabilities (i.e., s₀ through s₁₂, g₃ through g₁₁, and r₄ through r₁₂ [see text]), and the compiled projection matrices for all sites and years. These can be downloaded as ASCII files or as MATLAB code, as described below.

The following comma-delimited ASCII files contain vital rate estimates. Each has 25 rows, corresponding to the 5 sites in alphabetical order (CC, GU, PA, RG, and RI) and the 5 years nested within site (1995 through 1999):

File name:		Vital rates included:		No. columns
survival rates.txt		s0 through s12		13
growth rates.txt		g3 through g11		9
reversion rates.txt		r4 through r12		9
fruit production rates.txt		f4 through f12		9
sigma mu gamma.txt		s, m, and g		3
h1.txt		h1,3 through h1,11		9
h2.txt		h2,3 through h2,11		9
h3.txt		h3,3 through h3,11		9
k1.txt		k1,4 through k1,12		9
k2.txt		k2,4 through k2,12		9
k3.txt		k3,4 through k3,12		9
k4.txt		k4,4 through k4,12		9
k6.txt		k6,4 through k6,12		9

Note: all other h and k values are zero.

 

The following ASCII files contain sampling-variation-corrected variances for survival, growth, and reversion probabilities. Each file has 5 rows, corresponding to the 5 sites in alphabetical order. "-1" indicates that estimates of a rate could not be obtained for each year, so the variance could not be computed. No correction for sampling variation was made for the other vital rates (see text); hence their variances can be computed directly from the raw values.

File name:		Variances of vital rates:		No. columns:
survival variances.txt		s0 through s12		13
growth variances.txt		g3 through g11		9
reversion variances.txt		r4 through r12		9

 

The compiled projection matrices are stored in 25 comma-delimited ASCII files, the names of which correspond to the site and year. For example, "CC95.txt" contains the single projection matrix for the CC population in 1995.

The file "silene.m" contains MATLAB code that will produce arrays containing the vital rate estimates for each site by year combination, the vital rate means, the vital rate variances (corrected for sampling variation for survival, growth, and reversion probabilities), the annual projection matrices for each site by year combination, and the mean projection matrices for each site. Comments in the MATLAB code describe the structure of each variable created.
