June 2006Hal Caswell -- Markov Anniversary Meeting 2 Markov chains in demography particle = individual organism states = stages in the life cycle chains absorbing questions relate to absorbtion –when –where –timing –perturbation analysis
3
June 2006Hal Caswell -- Markov Anniversary Meeting 3 Patterns and rates of transition reflect hypotheses about biological processes –growth –development –maturation –reproduction –mortality

June 2006Hal Caswell -- Markov Anniversary Meeting 4 Discrete demography life cycle stages projection interval transitions reproduction
