Basic life-history speed parameters used in population simulations

Model parameter values
Life-history speed Mean rmax C.V. of rmax S.d of rmax Upper threshold rmax N1 K C.V of K SD of K Upper threshold N
Slow 0.1 0.15 0.015 0.15 100 1000 0.01 10 1300
Medium 0.2 0.15 0.03 0.3 100 1000 0.01 10 1600
Fast 0.3 0.2 0.06 0.5 100 1000 0.01 10 1900

rmax represents the intrinsic rate of growth, K represents carrying capacity, C.V stands for coefficient of variation, SD for standard deviation, and N for population size, with N1 being the population size at the start of the simulation.
