Appendix 1 - Life-table

Life-table for wild (1987-2006) and captive (1997-2006) populations of Vancouver Island marmots

Life-table nomenclature and calculations follow Caughley (1977; Method 2), and were implemented using PopTools (Hood 2006) with data for ear-tagged individuals (updated from Bryant 1998).
