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):

-- TABLE: Please see in attached file. --
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.

-- TABLE: Please see in attached file. --

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.
