Parameter point estimates in the full stage-structure model from one-dimensional likelihoods. (Point estimates for each element in the symmetrical β matrix in the model incorporating full stage structure were obtained by maximum-likelihood methods. The intra-stage transmission terms are designated by β1,1 for juveniles, β2,2 for subadults and β3,3 for adults. Inter-stage transmission is symmetrical. Interaction between juveniles and subadults is designated by β1,2=β2,1, while transmission between juveniles and adults are designated by β1,3=β3,1. Finally, the transmission between subadults and adults is designated by β2,3=β3,2.)
