Distributions of LRS in varying environments

The lifetime reproductive success (LRS) of individuals is affected by random events such as death, realized growth or reproduction, and the outcomes these can differ even when have identical probabilities. Another source randomness arises probabilities also change over time in variable environments. For structured populations stochastic environments, we extend our recent method to determine how birth environment stage distribution LRS. Our results provide a null model that quantifies effects on LRS just size stage. Using Roe deer Capreolus capreolus case study, show effect an individual's varies with frequency environments their temporal autocorrelation, performance changes pattern environmental states expected result climate change.
