Pair-wise comparisons of population growth rate estimates (model 2 – model 1) obtained from different mortality models, including 95% bootstrap bias-corrected, accelerated (BCa) confidence intervals.

aConfidence intervals were obtained from comparisons of 10 000 bootstrap estimates on the bootstrap-by-bootstrap basis so that the uncertainty distribution accounted for statistical covariances of model parameters (see Text S3 for details).bDenotes that the two models yielded significantly different estimates of population growth rate (i.e., 95% confidence intervals did not encompass zero).
