  1. Models were run with three values for mean juvenile survival and three levels of within year correlation between mean juvenile and mean second-year/after-second year survival. Within year fertility and annual survival rates of yearlings and adults were assigned a correlation of 0.9. All other pairwise comparisons were assumed to have no correlation. Standard deviation for stochastic lambda estimates refer to the variation among 25-year projections.
