Abstract:Growth and growth limitation are important indicators of density
dependence and environmental limitation of populations. Estimating
individual growth trajectories is therefore an important aspect of
understanding and predicting the life history and dynamics of a
population. Variation in individual growth trajectories arises due to
variation in the environmental factors limiting individual growth. This
environmental limitation can vary over time, between cohorts and between
individuals within a cohort. For a co… Show more
