The relationship between survivorship, net reproductive rate, and
matriline size; n, number of years in which that
matriline size occurred. Vertical bars indicate the 95% confidence
intervals of the mean. For survivorship, Y = 0.460
+ 0.179X −0.025X2,
P = 0.008, R2 =
0.97. Differences among means were tested by one-way ANOVA,
F4,93 = 2.75, P =
0.033; prior/posterior tests did not identify any group size as
different from another. For Ro,
Y = 0.158 + 0.751X
−0.122X2, P =
0.0028, R2 = 0.12. One-way ANOVA
(F4,93 = 4.44, P =
0.0025) was significant and a LSD test reveals that
Ro was significantly lower for matrilines of
5 than for matrilines of 3.
