Another look at the eigenvalues of a population matrix model

Population matrix models are important tools in resource management, in part because they are used to calculate the finite rate of growth (“dominant eigenvalue”). But understanding how a population matrix model converts life history traits into the finite rate of growth can be tricky. We introduce i...
