Appendix from M . E . K . Evans et al . , “ Bet Hedging via Seed Banking in Desert Evening Primroses ( Oenothera , Onagraceae ) : Demographic

This appendix provides additional methodological details not found in the text. The structure follows that of the “Methods” section (“Species and Sites,” “Plant Demography,” “Seed Demography,” “Population Models,” “Testing Predictions of Bet Hedging”), followed by two sections not identified separately in the text: “Generating Confidence Intervals for Growth Rates” and “Temporal Autocorrelation in Precipitation.” The section on confidence intervals is subdivided into descriptions of the methods for deterministic single-year growth rates (l), long-run stochastic growth rates (ls), average environment growth rates (la), and variation in single-year growth rates (Var(l)).
