Wiens, A.M., Erickson, R.A., and Thogmartin, W.E., 2022, Bat demographic look up tables for BatTool R package: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9P9BKIG.

Summary

Demographic look up tables allow the translation of a population growth rate, which is estimable from count data, to a set of vital rates parameterizing the birth and survival processes of the population. These tables are used in the BatTool R package to produce realistic simulations of population abundance trajectories given a range of population growth rates.

Purpose

These tables allow the translation of a population growth rate, which is estimable from count data, to a set of vital rates parameterizing the birth and survival processes of the population. These tables are used in the BatTool R package to produce realistic simulations of population abundance trajectories given a range of population growth rates. The three tables are applicable to a number of bat species, categorized by the maximum number of offspring per year.
