A review on rm and relative parameters

Abstract

Abstract: The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r_m) and capacity for population growth (r_c) are two comprehensive parameters describing a population growth. Their conceptions and usage are now confusable. In this paper, the meaning of r_m, r_c and relative parameters, their usage range, advantages and disadvantages of various formulae, and relationship among them are reviewed. Some new opinions are put forward.

Key words: Intrinsic rate of natural increase, Generation time, Net reproduction rate, Stable age distribution, electroantennograph, Chilo suppressalis, temperature, sex pheromone communication
