Abstract
We omit the final section of Thompson’s paper, in which he shows the effects on population size of(a) lengthening the pre-reproductive interval, (b) lengthening the period of reproduction, (c) increasing the number of offspring produced per day, and (d) compacting the reproductive period while leaving the number of offspring constant.
