Abstract
For populations with distinct generations it is often possible to count or estimate the total number of individuals entering different development stages for a series of generations using the methods described in previous chapters. The variation in the survival rates in different stages from generation to generation can then be studied in order to gain understanding of which sources of variation are particularly important for population dynamics. It is this type of investigation that is the subject of the present chapter.
