Life‐history constraints on maximum population growth for loggerhead turtles in the northwest Atlantic

Abstract Conservation planning for protected species often relies on estimates of life‐history parameters. A commonly used parameter is the instantaneous maximum population growth rate (rmax) that can be used to limit removals and design recovery targets. Estimation of rmax can be challenging becaus...
