Supporting information
Appendix S1. List of species used in this study, their demographic parameters and references.
Table S1. Species used in the study, their finite rate of population increase (), life history attributes (L: lifespan, α: age at sexual maturity, S:
entropy) and parameters of the time distribution (g, b, t) of reproductive value (subscript v) and of Baudisch’s sensitivity of population growth
rate to the logarithm of fecundity (subscript B). R2 (subscripted for the corresponding time distribution) corresponds to the proportion of variance
accounted for by the model fit; n is the number of classes in the corresponding matrix model. The corresponding references are listed after this
table.
